if im putting in new springs, 2" drop all around and i put new isolators on just the front will it make the front sit higher than the back? do i even need new isolators? cuz every "how-to" i read just says to use the old ones...

scubasteve041186 · September 9th, 2007, 01:10 PM

its nice to have new ones but you can use the old ones and no they will sit the same.

Nick_Rapitis · September 9th, 2007, 01:22 PM

so its fine if i just put new ones in the front and leave the back alone? there wont be any differences or anything? would there be a point to get new back ones as well?..my car is a 2000 so it isnt TOO old

MSO · September 9th, 2007, 02:01 PM

you got shocks/struts yet?

Nick_Rapitis · September 9th, 2007, 02:14 PM

no, a ton of people said i dont need to but it would be good to eventually

tjames · September 9th, 2007, 02:16 PM

your going to want to with a 2 inch drop

Nick_Rapitis · September 9th, 2007, 05:00 PM

i will eventually

Cricket · September 9th, 2007, 05:02 PM

with that large of a drop get new shocks and struts, you need a c&c kit if you want it properly aligned, and having new isolaters won't hurt.

Nick_Rapitis · September 9th, 2007, 05:09 PM

i'll get them eventually and im just gonna get it aligned after

Cricket · September 9th, 2007, 05:10 PM

it's better to get them and then install them all at once. Your car won't be able to align properly without the c&c kit with that large of a drop.

tjames · September 9th, 2007, 05:10 PM

it wont be allined right with out c&c plates, they arent that expensive

Nick_Rapitis · September 9th, 2007, 05:13 PM

they cost more than i paid for the springs

Cricket · September 9th, 2007, 05:15 PM

Do you want to have your car going straight, and not wearing your tires out too fast? Then get the c&c plates and install them.

tjames · September 9th, 2007, 05:16 PM

$189.95

Nick_Rapitis · September 9th, 2007, 05:18 PM

yeah i need new tires and am out of money right anyway but i'll get them eventually...unless someone wants to donate to the broke college kid fund...

02ponypackage · September 9th, 2007, 05:19 PM

its simple...You got to Pay to Play...period

02ponypackage · September 9th, 2007, 05:20 PM

Doing things right the 1st time...can save you from paying more later on...and or problems you run into that can hurt more then you think...

tjames · September 9th, 2007, 05:23 PM

ya instead of installing the springs, wait till you have everything first so you do it all right the first time, there is nothing wrong with haveing some parts laying around for a few so you do it right and dont cause yourself problems

Nick_Rapitis · September 9th, 2007, 05:24 PM

well a bunch of people already said that struts and shocks are optional but recommended and also that chances are with an alignment i will be pretty damn close to perfect and they know their stuff so im not too worried about it for now

Cricket · September 9th, 2007, 05:24 PM

not with a 2" drop. With a 1.5" drop you will be close...a 2" no you won't be.
