Default How much lower without isolators?

Hey guys... Just wondering how much lower our cars sit when running without isolators. I'm selling my Vogtland springs because the drop just isn't enough on a Mach, though it looks almost perfect on a GT. If the drop is roughly 1.5" how much lowerwould an isolator-less GT/MACH sit?

Any info would be lovely. Pictures would be even lovelier.

About 1/2 ".......sooner or later expect some noise if you don't use them[8D]

Guess I'l just be a man and sell the springs I have now and get H&R SS springs. They have the PERFECT drop for a Mach.

.5 inch... I've had mine off for a while and I don't have any noise. Although I did recoat my spring tails will ruberized undercoating. (only because the paint on the springs where starting to flake.)

Man this sucks.I don't feel like selling my springs, even though they are in the for sale section, but at the same time I don't want my Mach to only be lower about an inch. It's very similar to the Pro Kit which barely drops it. Running with no isolators seems kind of cheap... cutting coils seems kind of cheap.

Would my best bet be to just sell them for some H&R SS springs?
