Mine were fully dropped almost 2" literally right after the install. (I didn't run the ISOs, fwiw)

Did you get poly isos or did you reinstall the old ones?

My fronts make no noise with or without isos. The rear needs the isos, however.

You should be seeing more than 3/8" of a drop bc I highly doubt they'll settle 1.5"... Poly isos will subtract half an inch off ur initial drop if u bought those...

The poly Isos's are made of a much thicker/stronger compound i have heard. They don't settle as much as the stock rubber isos. Cars with poly isos sit half an inch higher than cars with stock isos. I really don't know why anybody would spend the money on new poly isos (not to knock you)

Why get H&R SS springs and put poly isos in? Might as well buy a spring with a 1.25" drop and leave the stock isos in...

Go back in the front and remove those isos. Put the stock isos in the rear. Be done with it. You won't have any squeaking
