Default Used prothane cobra rear isolators instead of heater hose mod

Got the idea from someone else on this forum below is an after and before comparison. Top pic is after and as you can see it lowered it about 1/2 an inch. These isolators sell online for about $25.

Yep I run a thicker isolator on the rear. It's about the same thickness as the stock isolator with the heater hose mod. It was made by Moog, and got it at Orileys for $20

Do you remember which it was? I'd like to raise my rear by a quarter inch or so.

Do you still have thicker isolator in and did it lift rear? I'd also like to lift rear of mine about 1/2 inch

Yes it's maybe about a 1/4 thicker than the stock one. I wanted another 1/4 inch on top of that so I added heater hose to it as well

Superior RideEFFEX Spring Spacer. Part # 18-1901
FYI. I used a set of those this summer trying to stiffen the rear for road course track days. If it is the same it is actually more of a 'stiffener' than a spacer. Anyhow. They were split by the spring after 2 sessions. I still need something to put above the spring to raise the rear .75" or so.
