Yes you need to redo it. Those isolators keep the spring level in the seat.

did one side tonight still cant get one side off gonna get it cut(old strut) tomorrow or sunday, looks like it only sets the spring on 1/4 inch more of area, but i guess it spreads it a lil more evenly

after you cut it be prepared to have to use a air chisel to get the shaft out as well...

haha yea i took it to a local shop and they used a torch/air chisel to get it off. everything is good to go now thanks for the replys

and these koni stranos ride better than stock springs and shocks do on horrible roads, I have them set at 5 its a lil bouncy but not as harsh as the stock stuff. I understand the rebound aspect now, it seems like the stock stuff just bounces up and stays there and the next bump you kind of float off the road and loose traction, with these its up then down for grip then back up again.
