I have the same set-up. No iso's in the front, both iso's on the driver rear, no iso's on the passenger rear. The passenger rear sat up considerably higher than the drivers so thats the reasoning behind my iso set-up. IMHO the back could come down some more maybe 1/4". The front is nearly perfect IMHO.

Japan, did you put the spring in correctly on both sides in the rear? I believe the end pigtail of the pring at the bottom is suppsed to face the driver side (I think). That may be your problem in height difference for the rear.

yea its all in correctly. the problem isnt with the springs its with ford. Its a common problem. Most people on this site have the passenger side rear higher than the drivers side they just have not noticed it. It took me almost a year to notice it. I even took a look a all the stangs in my parking lot at work and low and behold they have the same problems.

Interesting....I don't know if I want to go measure mine because then it will bug me if I know it's higher

When I say it was considerably higher Im only talking about a 1/2" or so..but to me it was a huge amount. I noticed it everytime I looked at my car. Its not as bad on non lowered cars because there is so much wheel gap. On lowered cars a 1/2" difference is very noticeable to me.

Only noise that I ever noticed was from the front and it wasnt that bad. As for the rear, if there was any noise, it wasnt noticable. And the ride was still pretty good, a little stiffer but not bad. But I do drive a lifted truck everyday so I'm used to creaks and being bounced around...lol...hope that helps.

This was the measurement after I put mine in with the bottom rear iso only,

Drivers Front..........Before 27 3/4----After 25 3/8
Passengers Front....Before 27 3/4----After 25 1/2

Drivers Rear...........Before 27 5/8----After 26 1/2
Passengers Rear.....Before 27 5/8----After 26 3/4

The passenger rear still sat up higher....even in my current Cobra...its the same way when I had my SRA in it.

after i installed my springs and other suspension part, i kinda noticed it and like you said if i went out there and found out for sure it would bug me pretty good. i guess you could cut the spring alittle get it equal, lol well i'm not going to cut my spring but is a thought to fix the problem

another way to fix the problem would be to get some adjustable lower control arms.
