H&R Race Springs..Isolators or no Isolators?

[2000GTSTANG]

Im thinking of making the switch over to H&R Race Springs before I bring my car back out for the year. I cannot find any good info whether or not I should run the isolators and would like some info from people here that are running this spring. Should I install them or leave them out?

Im currently running FRPP B-springs without isolators and the front of my car is slammed. Im trying to get away from that but dont want the car to sit too high as well.

I have coilovers in the front and run the isolators in the rear with the H&R springs. Not slammed and still rides nice.

I run the H&R race springs with factory isolators.

Not sure what affects ride height.. also have a qa1 kmember, steeda offset stearing rack bushings, steeda x2 balljoint, steeda bumpsteer, and MM c/c plates.

Your car looks great! The X2 balljoints do lower the car further as well. I should have put those in when I did balljoints a couple years back.

Im going to throw all of them in when I do the install and go from there. I love the look of having the front slammed, but its not practical where I live.

The X2's only lower the car more if you don't use the provided spacer. So you have the option to do that or not.

i have the race springs and took the iso's out cuz it was sitting too high. i do notice a bit more noise but it looks a hell of a lot better. I only took the front ones out and gave it a muscle car stance. my shocks are gone though now I am switching to coilovers.

That looks great, what kind of wheels are those? Sizes?

 

[Beavis281]

H&R sports. All MM isos in place

Leave them all out, but use the spacer from X2's. That is what I am running and have been for 8 years now.

Without the X2 spacers, the front tires will rub and wear through your splash guards after a while. Gone through a few sets hahaha.

Any pics of your car on H&R's without iso's? Ive really been debating on doing no iso's as well but dont feel like having to do the work twice if its too low and I end up needing to run one

My car had H&R race on it when I bought it. I can see them in the rear so I know that's what it's got but the PO didn't know if it had ISO's or not. I'm thinking it has to have them all in and it's not at all slammed or really even that low but looks and rides nice. No noises or scraping unless it's pretty big dip. Tires are 18's. 275/35 - 305/35

this is me on one knee to get a straight side shot. as you can see it's not all that low

H&R Race with all MM Poly ISO's in. Only 1" drop in rear and .75" front from stock. I would have left the rear out if I do it again.

Race springs. All factory isos in the rear. Removed top factory ISO from the top and bottom ISO is still in.

Although all other components are factory looking to upgrade to a bumpsteer kit soon

 

[nxhappy]

what is the difference between removing the top iso vs the bottom iso? I don't want a shit load of noise lol...

 

[Franco]

No clue what the difference , but I can tell you mine makes zero noise

 

[nxhappy]

did you guys need CC plates for alignment ?

 

[AnthonyRosas]

@nxhappy yeah its recommended provide better adjustments over stock setup
i think i will be putting in MM CC plates also
