It's gotta be more than a 1/8" drop removing the isos...

I am goign to remove mine when i decide to grow a pair... Ill try to measure how much it drops.. If i only get 1/8" drop, ill be furious.

I was hoping for the car to drop another 1/2" by removing the isos.

H&R SS no iso's

Check out americanmuscle.com to look at the customer pics of them.

Otherwise, coil overs of course.

I would just avoid the whole chrome swing that you're on right now... Polished SS tips will be good and endure all driving habitats

I feel like a biologist or something haha.

Just make sure you get stainless steel exhaust hangers to weld on there because the ones on my flowmaster catback are not stainless and they are rusted and causing some rust to occur on the polished stainless tips.

Yea I have no isos and it was roughly a 1-5/8" drop. The factory isos aren't too thick at least my rotted out ones weren't
