Default Installing springs today
Should I put the isolators back in or no? Do you just take out the top isolators and leave the bottom in or do you take out the top and the bottom?

If you leave them out, you need to wrap the coil with electrical tape. I think leaving them out will give you an extra .25-.5 inch of drop. Really up to you. I left mine in, actually, I replaced them.

On the fronts I always take the bottoms out. On the rear I leave both in.

So take out the top and the bottom on all 4 sides? Or just take out the bottom in the front?

With Steeda and Eibach springs- on the fronts, take out the bottom only. Leave bottom and top in the rear. With H&R's Id leave all the isolators in because youll get a bit more of a drop with those.

If you got springs that go low enough you wont have to take them out.

I left all of them in and it looks great. I'm very happy with the drop.
