My buddy has eibachs (pro-kit) on his 89' Gt and wants to have his front end lower than his back. Someone told me this can be done by removing the springs isolators and that will make the car lower? Is this true? If not, what other routes can he take in accomplishing this?

Yeah, you can do that. You may hear a little noise over large bumps, but that's just because the isolator is not there to stop that anymore. No problems that I know of though.

take the isolators out of the front but like someone said above depending how much they are worn out is how much lower it will be. You probably wont even notice it.

or

Tell him to find someone selling 2 sportline springs so he can throw those in the front with the pro kit out back that would look dope.

Jack up teh car in the front. Dissconnect the sway bar end link drop the a-arm and pull the spring out then the isolator should be either on teh top or the bottom of the spring.

The back is even easier.
