Spring Isolators!!!!

Hitboost · 12-27-2007, 11:05 PM

I'm waiting on my H&R race springs to come in and I saw that I might need some spring isolators. What do they do and will I actually need them for the installation of the springs? thanks

Cant transfer the stock ones?

I dont know... Am I supposed to?

Yes. I always transfer over the stock ones. But will leave the bottom one in the front out. That just lowers the car a little bit more.

Sweet. Preciate it. Do you know anything about the H&R race springs?

I'd personally would go w/ aftermarket urethane pieces out back and the stock ones (if they aren't in bad shape) up front to give you bit more rake.

Race springs are pretty stout. If you haven't replaced your shocks and struts with high performance units already, you will be soon. The higher rate springs shred the stock dampers.

I recommend Tokico HP, Tokico Illumina and Bilstein (MM Sport spec for you)

Read my suspension sticky in the suspension forum. it'll answer a lot of questions.
