Isolators VS No Isolators

[The Green GT]

What are the pros and cons of Isolators, and no isolators when installing lowering springs?

I would use isolators. And I preface that with saying that I hated to spend 50 bucks on new isolators. Prothane and BBK's can sometimes be found for about 40 bucks for all 4 wheels. ES are 50 bucks.

Having metal to metal contact on a DD could really become 'grating'.

I'd rather nip part of a coil than run no isolators but that's just me.

Good luck.

What about the stock Isolators, on that HOW To they just transfered them to the Steeda springs they were putting on.

If the stockers are in good shape, use them! Mine were shot (on the 88) so I had to replace them.

I've been running without isolators for a couple of years now with now noise or other problems.

Kick 'em to the curb!crapola

I got prothane Urethane isolators but i only used the upper one. I kept the lowers out. I just figured as long as the chasis was isolated that would be the biggest help.

My stockers were in shreds, so I left them out... I expected it to be a little harsh, but nope. I'd do the same if I did it all over again. I'm pretty sure the reason why, is because the stockers were in shreds to start with. The rubber tends to deteriorate over 150K miles.
