However thick the isolator is plus the added noise. How much drop do you want?

Think about how it is installed.

Spring - isolator - body. Remove isolator and the car is going to lower however much the installed thickness of the isolator is.

The amount of drop depends on how worn your isolators are. Mine were worn almost completely through, and didn't drop the rear any noticeable amount when I removed them.
