not sure about squeaks, but you'll want to install one (oer spring), or you'll get road noise transfer.

My Steeda's dropped me about 2 inches with the Iso's so i'm glad i kept them in.

Damn is that a 4" lift kit on your car? :hammer:
You will get a nice drop and the difference in handleing will be night/day.

Hey Droptop pony did yours really drop u about 2 inches? These are the regular steeda sports not the lightweight ones, if theres even a difference, but they claim 1 1/4 drop, if its really about 2 inches then that would make em even better.

we installed the iso's on the cut springs but on the eibachs we only put in the top ones. either way im not getting any squeeking or road noise. if i do in the future i'll just jack it up and throw the iso's back on or some elect. tape :thumb:

It was the Steeda Sport Superlites that dropped me 2"...
they claimed 1 1/4- 1 1/2 but it was almost a full 2" drop.
When i held them next to the stock springs i could tell it was gonna be more then 1 1/4 inch drop.
I didn't want a drop that low because Jersey roads suck but the way it handles convinced me to keep them on.

My car came with eibach springs in it and it wasnt low enough for my taste. I jacked and car and removed them and now it sits perfect. I don't have any other sounds in my car that werent there before so either I'm lucky or the sound thing is a bunch of bs.

You like pink stangs? :rollinglaugh: I love laser red as well, but mine's very faded and needs a good polishing.

Yes, I removed both the upper and the lower and I wrapped the first two coils on each end with some duct tape.
