Hey yall... i did C springs about 3 months ago, and im just not happy with the drop.. id really like it alittle lower.. it got rid of that 4X4 look, but not quite what i was after..

I did leave all the rubber spring isolators in place and ive heard that i can pull them out to give me a more aggressive stance... i was kinda hoping to get the pros and Cons of pulling the isolators before i crawl under there and tackle that monster again... i dont want it to hate the ride quality eathier... thanks.

I did it on my sportlines in the front (both top and bottom) and no problems what so ever and no extra noise. Heres a tip i learned from Tom, wrap the top and bottom coils in electrical tape to prevent the noise from metal to metal contact

Try H&R Sports or Supersports I bet you will
like the ride quality and the drop.

I plan on removing them also. If you use the electrical you should not have any noise problems, Atleast that what I hear.

I have the C springs in with no isolators. I love the drop and have no complaints about noise. This is coming from a guy who would put the isolators back in within minutes if there was squeaking too!! I hate rattles and squeaks. Try and I think you will like it.

i think you should cut the springs (i normally would never say this but it will save you a bunch of money) and if you still dont like it then get the supersports or sportlines.
