Guys, I'm debating removing the iso's from my ford b springs... It depends on how it sits with the new saleens I'm installing today... Does anyone have pics on stance? Do they make a lot of noise without iso's?
springs with no isolater pics?

I'm running Mach 1 springs, but left the isolators out up front. I noticed no difference if NVH with them out. I upgraded from fms C springs. Rode like a brick with those.
I'd post pics but doesn't help you

Thanks guys, please post ur pics! Thread pic whoring welcomed. Rather that than bust my a$$ on removing the front springs again... I hated the front brake/suspension part of my rebuild...
I don't have them on front or back on my car, but then I have different springs and 3/4 coil cut off the back so I don't think that'll help you any.

I don't think you'll have to worry about much scraping. I drive all around and have never scraped. Takes a little working the angles sometimes..
What spring setup do you have? And what size wheels/tires?

Tires scrub the fender plastic on hard bumps , car looks great with the new wheels , two suggestions - pull the front ISos I think it will make a big difference , also get flat caps and go on ebay and get the Saleen over lay stickers for the caps they will look clean , I LOVE your car it looks great !
Thanks! So maybe both upper and lower iso's? Or should I just spring for some new springs? Any suggestions? Keep in mind they are 18x9 up front so I really can't go too low...

Car looks great. Love that color and am jealous of the cobra rear bumper with the polished exhaust. Post some pics of the back please....that's the exhaust setup I want
Ford Racing "C" springs up front. Ignore the rear hight. I had MM adjustable arms on my car jacked full up until I could roll the rear fenders. I HATED the ride with these. I had the isos in and scraped over speed bumps and couldn't turn the wheel all the way with the 17" wheels. I used to bottom my front struts out a lot (Tokicos)
I ditched the setup for Mach 1 springs, isolators up front removed. Spring rate was the same as the C springs up front, but the extra height stopped me from bottoming my struts out. Car still handles well, but rides a lot more comfortable. Next time i have the springs out, i might trim 1/3 a coil off.

pull the lower I think it will be a big diff , but won't be too much , that's what I have pulled on mine
Heres some closer pics.. Pipes hang a bit low because my fuel pump and fuel lines route to right in front of the diff., and the fuel hoses run to the passenger side, close to exhaust along the frame. I used header wrap to cover my fuel lines

I've run with and without isolators. I without a doubt noticed improved ride quality when I installed new energy suspension isolators.
