are spring isolators necessary?

[swl987]

i'm going to get some steeda lowering springs and i was wondering if the polyurethane spring isolators are needed? my car is three years old with 7000 miles. would the old ones do just as well? any pros or cons would be appreciated.

If you don't get them, expect about 1/4 in more of a drop. I didn't put them on my Ford C Springs and it has been fine, there is some rattle from the rear end, but all within limits. I wrapped mine in some electrical tape too.

without isolators, you may have metal to metal contact, adding harshness and some noise.

you can take them out if you want but there will be metal to metal contact but it will lower it about 1/4 more than what the original spec is

i dont think he was talking about taking them out......

the stock ones will do fine. you dont need new isolators. your car only has 7000 miles on it.
