just lowered the car and not happy with the height

sonic281 · Jan 12, 2012

got the sve springs from lrs and it barely did a little drop to the car. Do you think i should remove the isolators ill put some pics up in a bit

Removing the isolators won't make much difference. Sounds like you didn't do your homework before pulling the trigger.

joshjwc9 · Jan 12, 2012

If they are brand new they will settle somewhat. Be patient before you rip the rears out to remove the isolaters. Also, be ready to replace your stock shocks and struts if you haven't replaced them already. The increased spring rate will reduce shelf life of the OEM's due to the stock valving which is engineered for the 4x4 springs.

Iso will help a tad but you wont see the full drop of the springs until after about 30 days...and as nightfire stated, if you were looking for a significant drop a little more thread searching may have helped

sonic281 · Jan 13, 2012

They were a christmas gift! What you expect me to give them back and say they suck. Dont insult me on saying I didnt do my homework.

Night Shifter · Jan 13, 2012

nobody was insulting you and how were we supposed to know you didn't buy them

anyway, wait it out...it usually takes about a month for the springs to fully settle and reach their real ride height.. when i first put my sportlines in i was pissed off so bad because they only lowered the car 1/4". then as the weeks went by i kept noticing the stance getting lower and lower then i finally liked it..

if after about a month the car still doesn't sit how you want pull the isos. i got about another 1/4 or more out of my drop after doing so.. every car is different so you may get more or you may get less..1/4" doesn't sound like a whole lot but you can definitely tell the difference. Good luck and post some pics

should have done your homework

N8Dogg98 · Jan 13, 2012

I installed poly iso's with my Pro-kit and they added about 1/2" to the total ride height... once I removed them it looked much better. Stock ISO's you're looking at about 1/4"... the springs should settle some after they've been on for a couple weeks, too

Oh and you clearly didn't do your homework

Nothing was meant as an insult. If I had received some springs as a gift, I would have researched what kind of drop they offered, along with other specs. If I found out that they weren't exactly what I was looking for, I'd try to sell them and use that money to purchase the springs that I want or have them cut PRIOR to installing them

Like others have stated, remove the iso's and allow them to settle. If you're still not satisfied, have them cut.

sonic281 · Jan 13, 2012

I did reserch the drop height and looked at customer pictures and they looked good. So I did do my homework. Would be appreciated if everyone would be mature and stop posting that i clearly didnt do my homework! Thought this site was for advice which I got from a couple of you and others making pointless remarks.

Everyone's just messing with ya man, don't take it personally.

As stated, they'll settle a little. If you're not happy with them at that point, pull the iso's. It's easy and if you wrap the coils where they sit on their perches with electrical tape, they won't make noise. Wrapping it 3-4 layers is plenty. You'll notice a little bit of difference in height, and it may be just what you're looking for.

+1 on the settling. My springs took about a month or so to reach full drop. They literally dropped about a full inch man. Im sure over the next few weeks they'll drop nicely. and if not you can pull the isos out and get a little more out of then.

TylerByers18 · Jan 16, 2012

sell them and get some h&r springs and take out the iso's or get some coilovers

N8Dogg98 · Jan 16, 2012

Yea... like I said, do your homework and all will be well

don't let some of these guys get to you buddy, most are just messing with you. the others....well, just overlook them. a handful concentrate more on being a smart A rather than trying to help.

dont get too discouraged yet. run them for a few miles and see if they settle any. they are already installed so even if you take them out now, they are still "used" . a few hundred miles won't hurt anything. worst case if they don't drop, throw them on craigslist. mustang parts sell fast on there usually. use the cash and get some H&R's. removing your iso's may help a little. i removed my top and bottom isolators and it gave me about a 1/2" additional drop ( those were energy suspension isolators tho, thicker than stock rubber ones i believe ) .

good luck. hopefully you will see more of a drop with some time.

It's the interwebz... People are going to say things like they have no filter. You are thousands of miles away and there are no consequences. SO.... You can keep feeding the trolls, or you can ignore it.
