You can leave the isolator in, that's what VinR1 intended. I did this on an old set of factory springs before. If you put heater hose on both the top and bottom, you should get almost half an inch of extra height. If I were you though, I'd just get decent springs. I was going to get the Sportlines just like you because the 2" drop looks sweet, but after going 1.25" lower with Stranos, I'm glad I didn't go anymore than that. The nose already scraped before lowering it, that actually didn't change much, it's the exhaust downtube and the lowhanging Flowmaster tips the previous owner put on which scrape now. Having only 2-3 fingers space before contacting my shorter rear bump stops without the spacer, I cannot imagine being .75" lower on softer springs with potential sag.

I have the pro kit as well. It wason the car when I got it and rides decent. They didn't put shocks on the car when they did springs but surprisingly its not bad. Still plan on getting rid if those Decarbons. You can do the jasonww mod to help get more travel in the front. I can take a pic for you showing how much travel I have before bump sstopsif you like.
