If you deem it necessary, shave it down with some coarse sandpaper. Never understood why people took them off anyway, they're on the car for a reason.They actually are really thin. I probably will end up putting them back on, with some sand paper to slim it down a little more. I just worry about the car being higher in the front than in the rear, and in that case I will re-install 1 of the ISOs in the rear.
Whatever you do...don't "grease the hell" out of it. That will just get messy and attract dirt/road junk.
People remove them, like me, to make the car lower and to honestly save money. They are just there to prevent NVH, and I knew it might squeak, but not like that lol. Anyway, I think that is a good suggestion, and probably what I will end up doing. I'll do the front, set it down, and see where it sits. If it seems a little too flat, 1 ISO will go back in the rear, probably top one. :thumbup:. I simply said grease because I know it might help, but I think ISOs help a ton, and I'll see whats what when I put them back in.
