Quick question, nice and easy. I got my driver side assembly in and everything bolted up, then found the lower isolator laying on the ground, apparently I forgot to put it back in Am I ok without having that in there or should I take the entire thing apart just to put that back in? FML

Son of a bitch. Oh well, should be a quick job since I know exactly what to do now. Will tackle it tomorrow after I finish the passenger side, had to quit for the night after being defeated by the upper ball joint not wanting to separate :-( Time to locate a pickle fork.

I ran my front Konis without them for a while to get a little extra lowering. It didn't damage anything, but impact harshness increased significantly. I took everything apart all over again and re-installed them, and it made a noticeable difference.

I just used a hammer and lightly knocked the ball joint upward to get it to separate. Didn't need a pickle fork.

I've had no isolators for a while, no issues so far

I beat the hell out of the upper control arm and couldn't manage to get a good hit on the stud itself with a hammer. The driver side popped right out, the passenger side isn't budging. So before I screw anything up I'm just going to find a fork, I'm pretty sure my dad has one in his tool stash.

RevGTO, good info. I replaced the Eibachs with BMR's to get rid of some harshness, so I'm definitely not going to take a step back by keeping the isolator out. I'm not tracking the car or anything so a little extra cushion for the springs is ok with me. Should only take a few mins anyways

I'll tell you this, put antiseize on the studs when you reassemble in case you ever need to get it apart again. Greatly reduces the need for a fork which sometimes does more harm than good.
