swapping rear suspension do i need the coil spring isolators
well got my car on jack stands as i am ripping out the stock rear suspension.and what i want to know as the search has not helped me out all the way. well when i replace my springs do i need to replace or even put the isolators back in. cause i have seen lots of cars put them back in and not put them in .
what is the pro/cons i guess with installing /not installing them back in? what did u guys do for the ones who have replaced the springs/suspension?
also this is what im doing to my 91 gt rear suspension
-new moroso trick springs
-strange 10 way shocks
-upr upper and lower chromemoly tubular control arms with new grade 10.8 bolt kit
-new ford upper housing bushings (have not bought yet was waiting till i got an answer about the isolators)
this is what i have already and i think all im doing for now?anybody

I just put mine back in
I just put mine back in
also i see a lot of guys not puttin them back in and was wondering what does it do ? anything? just want to know?
i need to know if i should order them . i am also thinkin about buying a stronger set of 28 spline axles when i do this as i also have some et drags on the way and i dont think my 177xxx mile stock axles will like my motor below with a t5 and slicks/rear suspension? what do u recommend i am lookin at the strange or moser axles?

I put some urethane ones in where I put in my new control arms. Not sure why they would take them out. Id be worried about them constanly squeeking without them there.

I have strange 31 spline. Either moser or strange would be a good choice. I read that pro runs another brand that might becheaper and he say's they are plenty strong. The stock axle's are strong themselve's, it wouldn't hurt to have new one's but might not be necessary. I forgot what your running, i'll have to look back at your sig.
