Default how much does lower spring isolator raise car?

Hey guys,
I crashed my car about a month ago, and i just got it back from the body shop..the car looks beautiful, but one side sits just a taaad higher. just enough to be noticable, about like .2".
I have no isolators installed, i was thinking of adding an isolator , the lower one..tomorrow morning. you guys think the lower isolator will raise the car any at all? i just want it a tad higher

thanks

ive heard of people losing .75" from taking out both isolators...

adding one, you might just gain .2...

some people get another 1/4" off there ride height when removing BOTH iso's. and some get .5"-.75".. its worth a shot to put one in.. check if the springs are sitting right in there as well

That's what you should do, not just a quick cosmetic fix

im sure the springs are sitting right in the perches. but i'll check before removing it all the way. car rides smooth..just a little un even.. unless the impact knocked the spring out the perch a bit.. doubt it though. or maybe i'll just put the top one on. what to do...what to do
