I'm lowering my car this weekend and I heard youdont have to use your stabilizers but you might get a little bit more road noise. I was wondering if anybody didn't use their stabilzers and if they had any problems?

if by stabilizer you mean anti-roll bar, you probably wont notice any difference going straight, but you certainly will as soon as you try to carve some corners.

No no... I think he means isolators..

You dont have to use your isolators, it does make a little bit more noise when you hit a bump. Some people use a thin wrap of electrical tape around the top and bottom coils of the springs to make it a little quieter though.It will give you about a 1/4" more drop if you dont use them. Is there any certain reason why you dont want to put them on back on your new springs?

Just the daily post count addition!

I don't have Isolators on my car and I can't feel or hear and difference. Although I can see it.

I recommend keeping the isolators, my reasoning is that the rubber provides a buffer from the metal on metal which reduces noise and possibly improves ride quality slightly.

However I will note that many strut assemblies do not have rubber isolators (metal on metal) and they work fine, in fact I believe most coil over assemblies for our cars don't use isolators.

So, Im on the fence on this one now that I think about it.
