well how low are you lowring it and which brand of springs did you choose? from my experince with my lowering springs Id get the urathen isolators cause they well start to squeek and get beat up pretty good. I wish i put them on when i installed the springs[:@]on my car.Plus they last for a long time, comparde too ruber isolators.

Just did shocks and springs on my 207,000 mile '93 Notch and reused the stock isolators. They're a little beat up, but they do the job.

You can use your stock ones but why use old sutff for new parts. Then down the road you may have too change them maybe, just depends on the shape of them too. Then you well have to take the supension apart agian get it aligned and etc..... Dont go threw all that again like me just get some isolatres and then you wont' have too worry about it again. There like around 60 something dollars for the rear and frontat stang supension.com .You dont have too change them but i would recommend too IMO. But its up too you thoe.

Peace and good luck

i don't know about the iso's but i know if you don't already have caster chamber plates then your alingment will be off and it will screw up your tires. that's my .02
