I know a buddy with an 03 mach 1 and we just took out his upper and lower Isos last week and he loves it so far.

I have the lower isolators removed from my front springs and I haven't heard any increased noise at all.

So i can expect a 1/2" lowering by removing both top and bottom? I'm still not convinced it's a great idea. But dont want to spend 250 on springs when i just want the front down a tad.

I don't know about top and bottom, I only removed the bottom isolators from the front. And my reason for doing it was that my lower ones were all worn out looking and **** so I didn't want to put them back in with my new springs.
