FMS "C" springs. Remove iso's in rear?

ShortThrow50 · Dec 28, 2006

I have some C spings on the way for my 93 lx 5.0. I dont want to much of a rake look. I also do not want my coils cut. On my 03 cobra I removed the rear top isos when i installed eibach pro kit any had no issues with "clunking". What should i do? Remove rear top iso or both? Or should i just keep all the iso's in? Any of you guys got pics or suggestions?

I believe Iwashmycar has recently posted pics of his B or C springs, and how the aesthetic changed after removing part of the rear isolator. Might be worth checking out.

Good luck.

I have C springs in my 1988 LX and although they have been in there for years, I do remember measuring the ride height changing about 3/4" all around with no weird nose-down, ass-up rake. That would have freaked me out so thankfully I didn't have to deal with it. I have all of the OEM rubber isolaters in place.

I left the isolators in on my C springs and I'm glad I did, the slight rake they gave to the car helped clear the '99 Cobra wheels. If I took them out, it really looks like I'd have to roll the fenders.

Don't be put off by it, its not like a funny-car or something...the rake is VERY subtle.

cool. Ill probably just keep the slight rake if there even is one.

ya it probably depends on the wheels....mine just looked really bad to me, if you have seen the pics.

I put a little weight in the back and now it has perfect gap...front and rear

Removing the isolators is just a plain old bad idea. In fact, while you have the springs out, buy a complete set of energy suspension isolators and put them on.

I speak from experience, i tried it, rides like crap regardless of the spring.
