Default C/A harder then i thought SPRING ISOLATOR Q

C/A came today well i wanted to start.... and man with hand tools and jack stands it's alot harder then i thought. had to take my exhaust off.... was not expecting that

my question is my rear sits a little higher if i were to take off spring isolators will my ride be worse? will it cause the grinding sound?

is it safe?

if so should I take both or just the bottom or just the top?

Thanks

Taking off the spring isolators will drop the car another 1/4 to 1/2 inch.The only thing is now you will have metal on metal,and it may cause a squeaking noise.But alot of people on here have no isolators and say they have no noise.

I removed my isolators. I wrapped the bottom coil with electrical tape.
