im wanting to drop the front of my car maybe another 1/2 inch or so and im thinking if i was to remove either both or maybe just the top or bottom isos will get it lookin better. my question is, which ones would your remove and is there an easier/faster way to get them off rather than dropping the springs out of it again?

thanks fellas!

oh yeah its a pro kit with prothane isos all around

Yes it's the Prokit. The easiest way to do it is to

lift from the frame,

put the jack under the LCA w/ tension,

remove the caliper and zip tie it out of the way,

remove the sway bar end links,

remove the two Large bolts at the bottom of the strut then,

lower the LCA with the jack.

After that it's just swing it down as much as you can pry out the spring.

Easy money. It takes my longer to change a tire than it does to pull out the spring.

As he said, remove all isolators. I ran the prokit without iso's and loved them. Definately sits lower. I'm going to install H&R race springs in the spring. I also made ramps from 2x10's and angled them so I could drive up on them giving me enough room to slide a jack under since it was so low.
