Just wondering if anyone has had any probs w/ removing the front spring isolators?
I have them on w/ sportlines but wanted to see if it will lower the car any by taking the isolators out.... I just don't want any squeeks or rattles of any kind.

It will lower it a bit but I wouldn't do it on my own car just because it makes the ride a little more harsh. Especially with sportlines not being the best ride as it is

I trust your word....but i still might try since i'm getting pretty used to doing the job (3rd time taking springs in/out) LOL
Anyone else have any good or bad experiences?

if u do pull the isolators out u should go down to ur local paint store or auto parts store and buy a can of rubburized under coating to spray in the spring pocket only right were the spring sits!

you can tell that it was lower than it was before you took them off, maybe a half of inch.
