So i know this is kind of a everone thinks different of opinion, however i got bbk springs and they hardly if any lowered the back.. SO my solution to get it a little lower is imma remove the top isolator and put a good coat of electrical tape on it... I mean is this bad or just i may have to deal with a squeak? any input would be great

wait a little bit for the springs to settle before you pull them...you might be suprised when the settle in....takes about a month to settle...then if its still not low enough pull the isos...very easy

the electrical tape will work fine...mine are out and i have a thin layer over the springs and i have zero noise....if there is any, i doubt you'll hear it over the exhaust

the alignment shouldnt affect the rear stance at all....it really wouldnt hurt to pull them now if you wanted too...they will settle though...i cant remember how much my bbk's settle on my fox though....i say pull them all!!!

You should remove the lower isolators not the upper.
