Try removing the lower isolators in the rear 1st ( good for about 1/4inch or so) and then the uppers if needed..although I would run the tops imo. I have my lowers out with a small piece of 5/8s heater hose around the coil. No nvh problems at all. alot of arguements over this but it has been done for years w/o any major problems. if you feel the ride has changed then put them back in. It takes a few hundred miles for the springs to settle. I waited a long time for mine to settle and had just a slight rake in teh rear. removing the rear lower iso fixed it and now she sits perfect.

Yeah those are the old SVE springs that Late Model Restoration sells. I have them on the 01 GT my family has and the rear didn't drop much at all, but the front did.
