Buying new coils, are isolators worth it?
 
In a couple paychecks im gonna buy some new lowering springs(shortly after i get my 4.10s and locker installed ;) )and basically im trying to decide if i should reinstall the isolators when i do this. Haven't really checked the condition on the ones in the car but we'll just assume im gonna have to shell out the 50 or so bucks for isos all the way around. How annoying will it be if i go without them?

It's worth noting that ride comfort isn't really an issue for me, im more concerned with the clunks i may hear as the coils move around in their seats.

It's also worth noting that ride height is a concern, i still haven't decided how low i wanna go. While on one hand the less tire to fender gap i have the better the car will look, on the other, i live in the hills of Pennsylvania and it's hard to think of a journey one might take a vehicle for that i don't change several hundred feet of elevation(many hills and bumps and places to scrape). :p

So lets hear your opinions... :)

I'd get new iso's, 50 bucks is nothing compared to not liking it without iso's and having to tear it all back down and put them on later. Plus it makes it feel like the car is done right. It kills me to drive my car with my rear ABS/TCS sensors off.

??? What do the isolators have to do with your wheel speed sensors?

buy them. do it right the first time.

It's just that if I did my suspension without iso's i'd feel like the job wasnt done fully. My wheel sensors make me feel like my rear end isnt complete. So he should go ahead and get the iso's.
