I wouldn't do it unless you're planning to lower the front too.

I've done it. Didn't notice any noise or decrease in handling
Our cars come with a raked stance from the factory; the rear is higher than the front. The car will sit level, not uneven

I did it to my '01 Z, it was very simple to do & doesn't take much time, I didn't get any noises from it. I think it leveled the car out well... If you did it & decided that you wanted to undo it, you aren't out much time or money.
There are some pics on my FQuick of the '01Z with it done....

It was already said that our cars have a raked stance from the factory so it will make the ride level... so if you lower the front, it should still have some rake, but to the naked eye I would assume it would still look close enough to being level.
The original idea behind it was to go along with buying Koni SA shocks for the front, which have two perches, letting you mount stock springs in a lower location. This lowers the front by about 3/4", but lots of people didn't like the raked look. So, by removing the isolator and replacing it with 5/8" heater hose, people were able to level the front and rear. In short, it's a way to use stock springs, but still lower the car.
