Lowered car with hose mod vs stock Isolater?? whats the height difference?
Im lowered now with strano's and using the stock OEM spring isolater in the rear and looks like i can go down just a tad more but i dont want to go to much lower. anyone know the difference between the 2?
I dont want to go thru the trouble if its gonna lower me to much so i'll ask first.
I searched but came up with nothing exact.
what is it? 1/2" , 1/4" ...more?
Im at 27 1/4 right now in the rear.
peace!

nice car bro!.......I remember looking at that thread. Yeah it looks good the way it sits. Actually i think our cars look great with the rear squatted just a tad vs the front. You need a front end alignment...lol you can see you camber is off and will wear the insides of your tires.
So you had the Isolater's in before doing the hose mod with the BMR's and the difference was close to a 1/2"....hmmmm?

i put my isolators back on. gave me the extra half inch or so of clearance. with the hose, i would scrape coming out of my garage, let alone anything on the street. with the isolator, i still scrape, but not everywhere. shes just a weekender/track day car, so i can get away with staying low. if i ever drove an fbody around here daily, i personally would NEVER lower it. your roads may vary.
