Springs w/o Isolators


I installed the H&R sportlines and still think the front isn't low enough. How much harsher would the ride be wiythout the isolators on the front springs? Would it mess my stang up not using them?

The ride quality won't be harsher but you might get some squeaking. Lube them up with wheel bearing grease before installing them in the spring pockets.

I ran them without isolators for a few months, then it started sqeeking alittle. Wasn't a big deal, but I wanted to raise the car up a tad anyways so I put them back in. Squeeking gone. I didn't lube them or anything though, that might have helped.

Depends on how many miles you put on them, weather conditions, road conditions, air conditions, etc. I went a couple years like that with no squeaks.
