Thanks Perry,I am not looking at much. I have a 315/30 tire on my car and I am changing to a 295/35 which is almost 1/2 taller so I think the 1/4 may work for the look I am after.
Keep in mind the isolators will dampen road shock and vibration that will get past the springs. Vibration is not a good thing for the car and any reduction should be considered a "good thing". May not be worth the 1/4" reduction in ride height. Something to consider.
Just curious, but how are the isos removed? Is it a difficult task?
You have to remove the springs, then remove the rubber isos from the springs. Some of the isos simply sit on the spring (flat part of spring) and others slide over the coils. Pretty simple task.
Is there any difference in ride height with Poly ISO's vs stock rubber ISO's? Thanks
The difference between the urethane and rubber isolators is just amount of vibration that will be dampened. I soft stock will absorb more of the vibration then the uethane.
I personally didn't notice any difference with removing my isolators..except for a nice drop in ride height.
That is because the sheet metal closest to the source is now dampening the vibration and has dissipated throughout the chassis structure before it reaches the driver but the shock towers are taking the brunt of it.
Don't underestimate the effects vibration has on sheet metal and spot welded construction. It fatigues and work hardens the metal and joints as time goes on. New car tight, old car rattles.
