I don't think it sits THAT high.. if you remove the isolator you may gain some annoying noises from the rear of the car.

The pigtails were placed in the right direction for both sides, any particular reason why this might be happening? I drove the car back to school 55 miles with 4 people in it thinking that would help the springs settle but its still sitting a little bit high in the back. Any ideas?
I just intalled the same springs with UPR control arms and mine sits too low! I went from stock height to almost no clearance. I installed the pigtails just as you did and still nothing?? Any advice? Did yours turn out ok after the break in?

I will trade you springs if you want. I have BBK specific rates.
