Thanks everybody [patriot]

as for the tonneau cover, I already have a replacement... just need to fabricate the attachment tabs, and get it painted.

the springs are the stock Saleen Racecraft springs. it still sits a little high IMHO... but it's definitely settled a bit since i first got the car. I'd be happy with like a 1/2 inch more drop up front...

Just take the Isos out so you don't have to cut the springs or swap out for something else

Really? I always read about people getting squeaks and rattles after removing isolators... but i'd much rather do that than replace springs... DEFINITELY not cutting them... lol

An iso should get u about a 1/4".... Removing the bottom is fine, with the top iso is still in place, the body of the car isnt metal to metal with the suspension.

Lookin clean!

How hard is it to get to the lower Iso's and remove them? I'll need a spring compressor?

It was designed to allow full access to the rear seats when the tonneau cover was not in use. and being that my cover was missing when i purchased the car, it was also missing the attached, and nearly impossible to find, low-rise stylebar [Frown]

very interesting I didn't know that!
