When i eventually get around to installing some springs (probably Ford C in about two weeks), should I take of one isolator, both or leave them all on? My car is a daily driver on clear well paved roads with very few if any irregularities. How much height does each isolator equal to?
lotta these threads goin on right now. theres one in talk also. really curious in this subject because i'll be doin it next week probably.
check out slvrbullIT's thread. he just did the same thing, but he cut the rear coils because i guess they barely lower the rear of your car at all. he has pics also further down in the thread when he took out the front top isolators.
Don't really want to go about cutting springs, probably getting the job done in a couple weeks myself when i can get my hands on some free labor and jack stands.

my. 02 is buy the drop you want and run isolators.
If you don't run Isolators you are going to have some extra noise. if the C springs are not enough drop sell them and buy something that is you will be happier in the long run.
removing isolators and cutting springs are just the wrong way to lower IMO. you car will dive better with a sring that is designed for a certain drop. other wise you will have noise or be able to bottom out the car.
Maintain at least one isolator on the front & back spring - preferrably the rear lower isolator, and the top front isolator. Noise wasn't an issue in my case, but running no isolators caused a harsh ride quality.
