'97'Cobra · September 2nd, 2008, 03:11 AM

like r/k said lower the front by removing the isos and if you wanna lower the rear some more you can use adjustable lower control arms to drop it up to an 1"

what are ISO?

F8L GT · September 2nd, 2008, 10:36 PM

Spring Isolators

SWEET2KSTANG · September 2nd, 2008, 11:33 PM

my front dropped pretty hard when i changed my k

'97'Cobra · September 3rd, 2008, 04:26 AM

doesnt hurt the the spring or anything to take those out does it?

03 R Code · September 3rd, 2008, 02:05 PM

do it cheap and cut off one of the coils! (probably have some adverse effects on your ride though...)

562cobra · September 3rd, 2008, 08:20 PM

NEVER CUT AFTERMARKET SPRINGS!!! The isolators are the rubber-like ring the spring sits on. Isolators are on top and on the bottom of each spring. You can remove those and wrap the ends of the spring in duct tape to prevent metal on metal contact. and remeber

i have my H&Rs cut. been that way for almost a year. cut a full coil off the front.

562cobra · September 3rd, 2008, 08:39 PM

That's just my opinion good sir. i would rather cut stock springs than aftermarket ones.

Pure sex mach by the way.

'97'Cobra · September 3rd, 2008, 09:26 PM

how much lower will that make my car 1 in. (maybe)?

v606er · September 3rd, 2008, 09:30 PM

remove the spring isolators for lower.

but instead you should get bigger rims man

'97'Cobra · September 3rd, 2008, 09:32 PM

ya but when you go to 18's tires go way up. that hurts to much in the long run

how do you figure if each iso is about 3/8 inch thick? i got almost 3 inches out of mine in the rear when i removed the isos, added southside control arms and changed to stock size tires instead of tall tire...

562cobra · September 4th, 2008, 05:03 PM

thats what i got out of mine. and surely im assuming u measured from where the spring actually sits and not the edge of the isolator.
