Default spring isolators...

I was just wondering if you guys recommend installing the springs with or without the isolators. I currently have FMS C springs and I don't know exactly how low the drop will be and I'm thinking about not installing the isolators at all. Is this safe? How much noise will it cause? Thanks

I installed the same springs without the isolators and maybe got another quarter of an inch of drop. You have to be outside the car and pushing down on it and a year later to hear any squeaks.

they help with road noise and possible suspension rattle. they also could add some height if needed. when i did my springs i noticed the stock isolaters were torn to hell. my ride is low and quiet with them, i would definitely recommend upgrading the stock ones.
