Default spring isolaters

are they nesscesary when u use lowering springs? ive heard from some ppl its ok not to use them and others u must re-install them. im using FRPP Progressive rate "B" Spring for the front and FRPP Bullitt springs in the rear on my 97 Cobra, also can i get away with useing the tie-rods ends or do i need to buy a Bump steer kit?

P.S first car ive had that i wana do aftermarket susp. with it so just kinda wanting to get some info, dont grill me if it looks like i dont knw much. thanks

You can take them out if you want. The car will sit lower and you may notice a more harsh ride and then you may not.

I should have said I didn't notice MUCH difference from the rears and no difference from the front.

Just try it... It takes about 30-45 a side. I suggest doing the fronts first though, that's what I did.
