ISO question

cedsks · November 18th, 2010, 08:39 PM

I have decided that I am going to go with H&R SS springs, my question is the isolators, When on american muscle there is an option to buy poly isolators. My question is are these polys going to increase or decrese the drop over the reinstallation of the factory isolators.

I have decided to put isolators either back in or re use the stock ones on the new springs, I dont want the car slammed, I am really looking for a level look (1-1.5" drop), if there is a difference with the poly isolators that american muscle sells and the stockers what would it take to make it level with those?

With these springs is there really any reason to replace the front shocks? I am only at 40k and they seem to be fine, I only have 500 to spend and with the install cost I am pushing it...

Bump, any opinions with poly isolators? Not from anyone

Get the poly and be done with it. Yes the oem rubber will compress more than poly but prolly nothing more than a 1/16-1/8" difference between the 2, plus the rubber oem ones end up rotting out and such over time.

save yourself some money and just reuse the stock ones or just chuck them all together and get an extra 1/8th in drop roughly. I don't run any isos and a few others including jazzer with no noise issues what so ever
