isolators w/Steeda Springs, IN or OUT ?

0d3llGT · May 18, 2005

I just bought a few suspension parts, including:

MM full length subframe connectors, MM CC plates, Bilstein shocks/struts, HPM Mega-Bite JR LCAs, Steeda Sport springs, and new polyurethane isolators.

I'm not sure how much of a drop I'll get w/the Steedas, but, I was wondering, if I should put back all the NEW isolators, or leave some out?

The instructions say that at least one (top or bottom) is recommended to keep down noise.

If anything, I wouldnt mind if the rear end sat up slightly than the front.

Any opinions???

Thanks!

I got a raked look on mine by taking out all the isolators in the front, and the tops only in the rear. I didn't notice any new road noise, but pot holes are more noticeable than when I was at stock height - that's obvious though

so if I wanted to leave in just 1 set on the front, and rear...
which ones should I leave in? the tops or bottoms???

I left out the bottoms in the front

I love the look of your drop in your pics on your cardomain site.

in those pics, you have both isolators in (top & bottom) in the rear?
and, the bottom isolators are OUT in the front? so, you only have the top in front?

let me know! cause I LOVE the look!

Glad you like it

Ya, the back I put everything back in and the front I only have the top in, the pigtail coiled lower ones in the front I left out.

I would recomend putting them all in. They will not change the ride height by that much. Down the line you will start to have alot of squeaks, groans and other noises from the springs moving around on the perches

Left all mine in also.. the steeda sport springs give the end the raised up look anyways

Why does my 70 Camaro not squeek without any isolators, and my 69 GTO didn't, and my 66 Fairlane didn't, and my 71 Challenger didn't, and my 72 Chevelle didn't, and my 71 Mustang didn't, and my 55 Chevy truck didn't, and my Roddrunner didn't........starting to get the picture.

There are plenty of guys on different Mustang forums that I visit that have removed one or both, and none that I have read have had "squeaks, groans and other noises"

It seems that every time someone posts that there will be noise or harshness, the person posting has never tried it
