Coil Spring Isolators?
I'm going to change my springs this weekend but don't know anything about the spring isolator.
I read some where that they lift the car some what which I don't want. Do I have to put them on? If so can I get them at my local auto store?

The rear isolators may lift the car (I've read the replacements are for fourthgen cars), the fronts won't.

Or you can do what I did and toss the thick isolators and push a 12" length of heater hose onto the top coil of the spring. It'll lower the rear of the car about an inch.
