Yes I put them back in when installed the Strano springs. I made sure I installed the isolaters. Everybody is different but I felt a big difference after doing the mod I left it on for six months but its not my daily driver. Here is the thing I did not want to lower my car cause of a crappy ride but after reading all the posts I decided to and could not be more happier with the Strano springs I recommend you do it.

Looks like no hose mod for me either. Springs only. If the ride is that much harsher without them, id rather leave em in.

I noticed a huge cornering ability increase, does that count? Was driving up to Big Bear, CA taking 25 corners at 60-70 without making the tires squeal... Then again it probably helps that I have a bunch of other suspension mods. Just doing the hose mod really woke up my car's handling and fixed the mild oversteer problem it had. Now it either grips on all four or it doesn't. I actually ended up going to a slightly softer rear spring at the same time too so the ride is smoother than it was before, in addition to being much lower.
