Im having the eibach pro system plus kit installed shocks struts springs and swaybars. If I leave the isolators out how much lower will it sit? Also will the ride be more harsh and noisy without the isolators? What do you guys think? I dont want it to ride like a tank.

I have Steeda Sports with no isolators. After about 6 months the rears started to squeak over small bumps so i put new isolators in the rear. No squeaks and it has the raked look. My gf couldn't notice the difference in height but I could. I would say take them out, but save them, and if it squeaks too bad, then put them back. They made 0 difference in ride quality, imho.

No difference in ride quality and no extra noises when i removed both of my front isolators.


about 1/2" drop by takin out the fronts. Camera is at a little bit of a different angle, but you can still see a difference.

It gets down into the 50/60's at night and upper 70's during the day.

I think you'll be fine without the isolators. My Sportlines are sagging in the rear and squeaking a bit, so im replacing the stock isolators with some poly-urethane ones to raise it a bit and get rid of the sound. I will be removing the front bottom isolators to drop it hopefuly .25"
