i've got my set of H&Rs today and need to order struts/shocks (prolly tokico blues or illuminas, depends on $$$). i've noticed people are reusing the stock spring isolators. my max has just under 40k, so i'm assuming mine are in good condition. is there anything else i should buy prior to the install? i haven't noticed anything else. the H&Rs are used and don't come with isolators or such. thanks

 

Well My H&R's are new and they didn't come with isolators or such...

 

I installed mine with the stock isolators and purchased nothing else.

 

thanks guys. i read where some spring sets come with some. i wasn't for sure if mine had or not. i'm just wanting to prevent any suspension noise i don't have to have.

 

Just get a good adhesive to apply them to the coils so the don't slide around.

 

When you say isolator, are you refering to the rubber piece that goes on the coil to prevent any noises from the springs rubbing together? If so, my Tein's came with it. For all of my other cars, I've just used the one from the manufacturer, with no problems.

 

yeah, that'd be the piece.

 

do you by any chance want to sell your original stock springs and struts? i need to replace mine as i have 120k miles on my car and i cant afford to buy all new ones. since you have under 40k im sure yours are still in decent condition and will prolly be good for a nother 60k or so... let me know.... thanks
