Lowering an '03 Expy with Eibach kit and Bilsteins. Will be doing the work myself. Decided that since everything else was new, I should consider replacig the coil spring isolators as well. Since I won't be able to check the condition of the existing isolators until I disassemble the shock/spring unit and the isolators are not too expensive, I plan to buy them before I start.
Called Ford dealer and was told that isolators are not a separate part number and only available with the shock; not surprised but that is just dumb. Called a couple of aftermarket vendors, so far no luck.
I was curious as to whether those of you that have lowered your vehicles replaced the rubber isolators or just reused the old ones? What was the condition of the isolators after 50K-65K miles? Any insight would be appreciated.
