I have some adjustable lower control arms on the car already. I think the poly isolators I used on the H&R Super Sport coils didn't help with the stance I'm getting. I thought about removing the isolators but not sure how it would work with metal on metal.

It's been a while since I messed with conventional spring setup on the rear, but did you make sure the spring pig tail is setup correctly on the perch?

Don't remove the isolators as it will make noise. Remember, the lower you go the higher the odds you will get bump steer.

Don't they point to the driver side? Been years for me as well. Just search it.

Yeah they are correctly installed. From my understanding the poly isolators raise the car up some, should have reused the stock rubber ones.

They will raise it compare to the worn out / busted / missing stock ones but dimensionally they are the same as new stock ones or at least the ones from MM on my Coupe are. Realize the ones on my Coupe from MM are over 15 years old.

Damn, the rear is the main reason I want to go with coil overs. Needs some fine tuning to get the ride height that I'm after.

I use the Mm adjustable rear control arms. I use that dial in the height with the front coil overs
