ISC Suspension's BRZ Build
Hey everyone, thanks for taking a look at our build thread. We've got a lot of information to put in, so if you think I am missing something please let me know and ask me any questions that you may have! Ok, on to the build!
Purpose of this Build ISC Suspension has been looking for a solid track platform for a little while, we've have been looking for a car that everyone in the company can use to become more active in the autocross/drift/sccnh community. Initially the car started out as a few modifications to make it fun and is quickly progressing into something much more aggressive than that. This BRZ is going to particpate in many SCCNH Auto X events, and also the Club Loose North Drift events. If you are in the area and want to get a feel for the products on this vehicle, we would be happy to hand over the keys and let you take a few laps. Quick Links This section is reserved for the significant events that happen during the build, and after as well. Sponsors We'd like to take a moment to thank the sponsors of this build. For any questions regarding products please PM us.

BRZ Log, 16 January 2015 (Going back a few days here folks)
Picked up the BRZ from NY, it had a few cosmetic defects but nothing a little paintless dent removal can't fix. The motor is strong and the car felt great. http://i0.wp.com/iscsuspension-na.co.../01/image3.jpg 21 January 2015 We threw the BRZ on the alignment rack today so that we would be able to get a solid baseline of how the car felt. We also got a good peek on the undercarriage of the vehicle, which was very clean. We would expect no less from a newer vehicle. The car also got registered today and will be departing on a trip to get some measurements for future projects. A bath will also be in order soon! http://i1.wp.com/iscsuspension-na.co...size=600%2C400 http://i0.wp.com/iscsuspension-na.co...01/MG_0042.jpg http://i1.wp.com/iscsuspension-na.co...size=600%2C400 29 January 2015 We got the BRZ up on the lift again to install all of our ISC goodies. Coilovers, Spacers, and covers. No control arms yet since we're out of stock, but they will be coming soon. We also did and alignment on the car Pre-AJW Alignment: http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psbaae7809.jpg Post AJW Alignment We chose these specifications to get a baseline of how the car felt lowered, etc. We will dial this in more once we get some solid track time in. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps3927a285.jpg ISC 15mm Spacers got the back of the car looking perfect with the stock wheels. The BRZ wheels are also perfect, because they include the space for the the wheel studs. No need to cut your oem studs like on some other oem wheels. Before spacers: http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps34104174.jpg After spacers: http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psc1914bb3.jpg Much better! |
2 February 2015
Cold day here, decided to do some Brake work with the BRZ. We installed a 05-09 LGT BBK and confirmed fitment for ourselves. We also added 15mm Wheel Spacers in the front so that we could clear the BBK. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psde2d38b5.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps49e854fb.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps816dc8e6.jpg |
AME Wheels and Stoptech Brakes should be here soon, subscribe to see our full walk-through on these brakes!

Looking forward to hearing more about those tires.

Alright, so as some of you may know we recently picked up Stoptech as a sponsor, so we had to remove the ISC brakes that we had test fitted and threw on the Stoptechs. They are an amazing quality piece, the small details really matter and they provide some of the best installation instructions that we have personally ever seen.
Before we dive into that, I'd like to show a photo of ISC's coilover sleeves. They look really good and are doing a great job keeping the coilover protected. One note to make is when you are installing these on a set of ISC coilovers with thrust bearings you want to make sure you really get it covering the thrust bearing. If not water can seep in and mess up your day! Coilover Covers: http://ajwperformanceproducts.com/st...ver/p/46299141 http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psb821cea4.jpg Stoptech Big Brake Kit Install Available here: http://ajwperformanceproducts.com/20...egory=10971073 "StopTech's Balanced Brake Upgrade kits equip your Subaru BRZ with larger two or four piston calipers and plus sized StopTech AeroRotors. StopTech big brake kits provide a neutral biased brake system that will improve safety and performance on and off the track as well as add a striking visual enhancement that is second to none. StopTech big brake kits also include stainless steel brake lines and StopTech performance brake pads to complete the package. Adding the StopTech ST-40 front or ST-22 rear calipers to your BRZ as part of the Balanced Brake Kit will give you the advantage of one of the stiffest calipers on the market. StopTech's calipers incorporate their bolt-in bridge, which is strong enough to dramatically reduce caliper distortion yet does not sacrifice the caliper's cooling. The squeeze forged StopTech calipers have the least flex of any tested after market or OEM caliper. The air channel in the bridge is designed to help air flow through the retainer, resulting in better cooling. A stiffer caliper on your BRZ means improved performance without added vibration, noise or pad taper. You will also benefit from better pedal feel under extreme braking conditions. You can brake confidently, knowing your calipers are staying cool as you dive into the next corner. The StopTech big brake kit uses StopTech's patented Two-Piece Floating Directional Aero Rotors with your choice of several rotor diameters, featuring their innovative leading and trailing edge designed cooling vanes. The unique vanes inside the disc maximize airflow through the AeroRotor to reduce turbulence and flow more air than any rotor tested. AeroRotors provide up to 80% better airflow over original equipment rotors and 10-30% better airflow than other directional vaned racing rotors. What does that mean for you? Your Subaru BRZ's rotors will stay cooler lap after lap (or stoplight after stoplight). Cooler rotors are less prone to warping and cracking, and will also help to prevent brake fade and/or failure. StopTech makes their own stainless steel brake lines in Southern California. StopTech is a DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) registered supplier of stainless steel brake lines. Line material and fittings are all made from the highest quality parts available. StopTech's brake lines feature a clear, abrasion-resistant cover for maximum protection against chaffing. Necessary quality control procedures are in place to ensure lines are the correct length and every fully assembled StopTech stainless steel brake line is tested to a pressure of 4,500 psi. The supplied StopTech performance street pads are an excellent choice for the daily driven BRZ and function great for the occasional autocross. If regular trips to autocross events or serious track days are in your BRZ's future, be sure to purchase a more appropriate pad for those events. StopTech big brake kits calipers are commonly available in Red & Black, but can be special ordered in Silver, Blue, Yellow or Gold at an additional charge and with additional lead times. Please call if you are interested in special order caliper colors. Anti-corrosion gold zinc coating benefits those who live in cold climates, where snow and road salt are commonly encountered, or those who would prefer no visible surface rust on the vanes and outer circumference of their rotors. This option will add to lead times, please call for more information." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMEMBER: Always use anti-seize when installing new products it will make your life much easier when you uninstall or change parts! The first thing that caught our eye was, "woah, these calipers are HUGE for 4 pots". They're beefy, but we like beefy :D http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps7db36e80.jpg The Calipers have a large piston, one is 40mm and the other is 34mm. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psd02d5935.jpg The small details are really interesting on them as well. They feature an air dam that draws more air in to cool down the brakes. The kit also includes everything that you need for the front, including the brackets for the calipers, the calipers themselves, pads and rotors. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps45315cd7.jpg |
http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps952ec0b1.jpg
Stoptech advises in their instruction manual to not use brake clean, which is important. As always make sure you remove the rust inhibitor coating on your rotors prior to installation or else you could damage your brake pads. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psf1f30821.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps795fea65.jpg Photos of the finished product and brake lines http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psb6913a2f.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps6fe30293.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps81d27dab.jpg Onto the rears! These can be purchased here: http://ajwperformanceproducts.com/20...egory=10971073 "StopTech Sport Kits represent excellent performance at an excellent value by providing significant brake performance improvements using direct-replacement (OEM) sized components. Sport Kits are the easiest way to upgrade your rotors, brake lines and pads for improved braking performance while retaining the existing factory calipers and wheel fitment. StopTech Power Slot Rotors will increase the looks and performance of your BRZ. The unique slotted friction surface helps wipe away debris that can form between the pad and the disc, provides more initial pad bite, improves cooling, and will add a sporty aesthetic. All Power Slot rotors feature a friction surface coating to prevent glazing as well as a durable black e-coating on the center sections to prevent corrosion and enhance the look of aftermarket wheels. StopTech Performance Pads are a great option for those that are looking for a good all around street pad that may see limited track time. Designed with a higher heat tolerance and temperature range, the StopTech Performance pads will out perform most other OEM quality pads on the street or track. Para-aramid composites provide linear response regardless of pad temperature. You can expect increased dust but a minimal increase in noise. These are also standard in StopTech's big brake kits. StopTech Braided Stainless Steel Brake Lines reduce the brake system's compliance and improve brake pedal feel and modulation. StopTech's Stainless Steel Brake Lines are D.O.T. compliant and designed specifically to fit your BRZ. All necessary brackets and fasteners for easy installation. All necessary brackets and fasteners for easy installation." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remove your old gross brake rotors that don't have totally cool slotting! http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps6d167b8a.jpg It is always a good idea to inspect everything as well while you are removing components. Check for any missing, torn, or worn componenets that may need replacing. It'll make your life easier on down the road! http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psae2fecb0.jpg Install the new rotor and reinstall the caliper with new brake pads! Stoptech also does make BBK for the rear, but we decided to go with only the front and sport kit for the rear. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psa529767c.jpg Photos of the brake line setup for the rear http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps513347c4.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps09335064.jpg The front and rear brakes feel great. After correctly breaking them in per Stoptech's intructions the braking power was unreal. We look forward to getting these out this spring on the Auto X and Drift course at New Hampshire Motor Speedway events for SCCNH and ClubLoose North. If looking into a big brake kit, certainly make these Stoptech brakes a top priority to check out if you intend to use the vehicle for heavy motorsports use. We will post more updates on them shortly, did we mention how awesome they look too especially behind the AME Japan TM02 wheels? :) |
Front Control Arm Test Fit
March 3rd, 2015
Making more progress on the front control arm today. Final tweaks need to be made but this will give you all an idea of what the product will look like installed. It has gone through many revisions, but is almost ready for full production. We will provide more updated specs on the arm when it is closer to its release. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psfuz1ksf4.jpg |
Perrin Performance Catback Exhaust
March 4, 2015
Today we installed the Perrin Performance Catback Exhaust! This piece is put together wonderfully and will look amazing on your BRZ or FRS. You can tell Perrin takes great care when they produce their exhausts for the BRZ, FRS, WRX, STi, and all other vehicles. Every weld looks perfect and done with purpose, no spotty odd jobs can be found on these exhausts! Perrin utilizes 304 Stainless Steel for their exhaust which provides corrosion resistance and allows the exhaust to withstand temperatures of up to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. Some manufacturers use cheaper stainless steel but Perrin is a company devoted to quality and wants people to have these exhausts last them a lifetime. Another great feature of Perrin's exhaust are the use of high quality V-Bands. V-Bands are designed to withstand tons of pressure, so Perrin incorporated them into their exhaust design. The gasket less design of their exhaust makes it easy to install and uninstall the exhaust if you need to. There is also no need to constantly replace gaskets once they wear down! At the end of the exhaust you will find 4 inch slash cut tips. These tips are oval and double walled and will not discolor with extreme temperatures. They really add an aggressive look to the BRZ and FRS. In the box you will find the following items: 1x 3inch Muffler, 1x 3 inch midpipe, 1x 3 inch S-Pipe, you will also find all installation hardware, license plate frames, instructions, warranty information, and even some Perrin Stickers! Installation: We purchased this catback to put on our BRZ that will be a dedicated track toy this spring/summer/fall. We have seen Perrin's quality throughout the years and we knew that we could trust their products. Installation of the Perrin catback is simple and straight forward, you will first need to remove all existing pieces of exhaust after your resonator. This process should be simple but if it does not seem to be working for you reach out to a tech or schedule an appointment and we can help you out! Remember, always use a lift or a jack and jack stands. DO NOT use just a Jack, it is very, very dangerous and can cause seriously bodily injury or harm. Remove your stock exhaust up to this point... http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps7og4c2zj.jpg From this point, install your new midpipe. It is okay to let it hand while you get everything together. You may want to stage your first V-band clip to help you out. Keep everything hand tight at this point, you will want to tighten everything down evenly once you have the full system installed. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psaaelx0fv.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psapag0gk2.jpg Next step is to install your S-pipe, it will go right into place and will fit up to the factory exhaust hangar locations. If you are having difficulty installing the mounting points into the hangars a little bit of PB blaster may assist you. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psb5392552.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psc3fd7da8.jpg Now you are ready to install the muffler itself, once again this process should be as simple as throwing the mounting points into the exhaust hangars but sometimes can be tricky. Use lubrication from PB blaster or another type of automotive lubrication. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps750e32da.jpg Now that everything is installed you can go back and tighten things down! Make sure to double check all bolts to ensure that they are tighten down, there is nothing worse than a leaky, or rattly exhaust! http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps6402f950.jpg Now you are ready to enjoy your new Perrin Performance Exhaust! Conclusion The Perrin Performance catback is a very versatile and powerful piece. The tone of the exhaust is perfect, and the quality of the exhaust cannot be talked about enough. While we have not had a chance to dyno test the vehicle, we can already tell that the vehicle is much more responsive and more fun to drive. The exhaust does not drone too much at all and is very mellow. We will post more on how the exhaust performance into the future! |
We're not dead! We will be updating this in a few days!

24 March 2015
Today we took our BRZ and added some much needed new rear endlinks from Whiteline. I am not sure if anyone else caught it from photos but one of the OEM enlinks were really twisted badly. They made installing new components very difficult, and we decided to just go with a set of Whiteline adjustable enlinks instead. These things are great, they feel super sturdy and are very easy to adjust. Another great product from Whiteline racing, exactly what we have come to expect from them!
Here is a photo of the twisted endlink: http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...sbcermf7f.jpeg And here is a shot of the endlink side-by-side with the old broken endlinks. As you can see Whiteline's are much beefier and nicer in quality than the old ones. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...sb6dg2hff.jpeg The installation was smooth and the endlinks look great with our control arms. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...sijcsotvq.jpeg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...slsnbqpeg.jpeg We have some other goodies too, and I will update this thread tomorrow! |
25 March 2015
We also got the chance to add the Whiteline Rear Sway Bar Mount Braces for the BRZ. These mounts are great in keeping the rear end nice and tight.
http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...scpdoraom.jpeg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...sqtoi7hae.jpeg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...sc1zsccwy.jpeg |
2 April 2015
This week we installed a full set (4 wheels) of our newest product, the extended wheel stud for 1993 Subarus and up! Our Wheel Studs are super strong and very affordable. They also make threading lugnuts on simple thanks to the end that acts as a guide. These, plus our 15mm spacers make for perfect looking fitment on the front of the BRZ with it's stock wheels. You can find these in our store here: ISC Extended Wheel Studs

Clubloose North Shakedown
This weekend we have the opportunity to participate in our first Clubloose North event. We are a title sponsor for these events and we’re really happy to work with the local drift community! Andrew Wallace, the owner of ISC Suspension got to drift for his first time and learned a lot about drifting and what it takes to operate a drift car. We will be attending more events, and were happy to report that our predicted alignment specs worked out for the car really, really well! We will be back for another round of Clubloose North on May 2nd! http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...pstafkatuy.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psao7v0r0m.jpg |

Clubloose North Round 2
This past weekend was jammed full of great events with great friends! Saturday started early at New Hampshire Motor Speedway where Jorel and Andrew got setup for a full day of drifting and manning the ISC Clubloose Booth. This time Andrew and Jorel both had the time to drift. Andrew was able to get more proficient at his technique and was able to connect more drifts than he did during the last Clubloose event when he was just learning how to get the car sideways. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...pszihhalkn.jpg Andrew says that this is the most fun he has ever had in a vehicle. Andrew has done autocross in the past with his 2.5RS but he says that these drift events are much more fun to him than autocross ever was. Andrew wrote a short blurb after the event which can be read below… “The car performed well. I saw a significant improvement in my driving from the first event. I was able to participate in 2 of the 4 sessions that day for my class. We are going to do a more aggressive alignment for more negative front camber on our new alignment rack prior to the next event so we can see how it behaves to that change. We also are seeking more power options since the car is underpowered for this purpose, more power would certainly make for a more successful experience. We would like to remind all Clubloose members about our upcoming open house, hope to see you all then!” – Andrew Wallace http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psqf8vpavv.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...pshc2wj3yl.jpg We are looking forward to the next event on May 16-17th! We will be there for both days to tear it up! |

We just got done installing a new crash bar on the front of our BRZ! We also ended up going for a much more aggressive alignment for the upcoming Clubloose Event happening this weekend on May 16th and 17th.
Below are the alignment specs (click the attachment) as well as some photos of the BRZ crash bar. We may be offering this crashbar for sale soon! You will need to cut your fender lines just a bit to utilize it without the bumper, so please keep that in mind! We will have further updates soon, the new clutch just came in and will be installed soon! http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...pssdgqqxdg.jpg |
nice build so far, alignment specs pdf says to have been removed or deleted.

Clubloose North 2 Day
We had a blast this weekend at Club Loose North. We decided to keep the front bumper off and go a little more aggressive this time. We figured if we kissed some tires with the crash bar it would be a little more forgiving :) Andrew was able to get a lot of seat time and was moved up to B group at the end of the day. Jorel also did a lot of advancement and was lucky enough to get non stop hot laps in the BRZ. The more aggressive alignment really helped the car. Andrew and Jorel both really learned a lot about line and the best ones to follow at the Clubloose track! http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...psvdzesa5o.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps7iywahgf.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psdnytndpn.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psuhqrujm7.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...pscz2l3ghz.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psr0dmlg8p.jpg |
27 May 2015
Today we took some time to work on our shop BRZ and install our prototype angle kit for the BRZ. After getting into B class we decided it was time to get a little bit more angle so that we could get some more extreme drifting out of the car. Angle kits help achieve a more stable and controlled drift. We're looking forward to introducing this product to our line of performance suspension products that we now currently offer for the Subaru BRZ and Scion FRS. Make sure to follow us on instagram for this new product that will be out soon!
http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...pshdxrrtdp.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psqgpf3evx.jpg These make a great addition to our Whiteline Bump Steer kit and work well this it. We're excited to get out onto the drift track and give these babies a whirl! |

Ok, we're back after about a month of being gone. Lots of stuff to update you guys on.
1. We installed an NRG Rear Wing onto the BRZ, it looks sweet. Here are some photos of the finished product, we also stock and sell these. They are a universal fitment wing. The wing looks sweet and works very well at generating downforce. It also holds go-pros really well. :banana::banana::banana: http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...pscg40k7jt.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps54vjx75q.jpg 2. We tore it up at the June 6th Clubloose Event. We changed the tires over to Achilles radials, and they work great. The car is easier to control with the added angle kit and we actually make smoke now! The Clubloose event was followed by Wicked Big Meet where we met a lot of people and talked to them about the BRZ and the plans. It was great meeting all of you! http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psgtoqyzeh.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psj1w8wjac.jpg |
3. We did some added some performance parts in the form of Borla Unequal length Headers and a Tanabe Midpipe. The car is much louder now, and sounds great! :devil:
https://youtu.be/ETY5sM0F0Xo The install went very smoothly and the parts are much nicer than the OEM bits. The car was then sent to Jay Perry of The Subaru Shop for a tune. Once we get the car back and the dyno results we will post them here. Jay is going to try and lessen the normal pitfall of the BRZ that most people know about. A higher RPM drop where the car seems to lose power. Here are some photos of the headers next to the OEM components for comparison as well as some photos of the items installed on our BRZ. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps1vsiocpv.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psxs5xkf6o.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psb8ovtb53.jpg http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/a...psmuhbr5jv.jpg |
Subbed,

5 July 2015
This weekend was Clubloose North’s #IndependenceMovesNorth event. This was a two day event but we only attended the 5th due to our own July 4th festivities. The BRZ and Andrew were ready to go and excited to get back out onto the drift course. The other drifters at the event were display tons of American pride, including flags, wheel caps, bandanas, shirts, and more. There were some new comers and some old favorites out their as well.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...psuej2e4ap.jpg For this event we were also able to get some great go pro footage for us to make a video and also for Andrew to analyze his own driving. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKrVsf-L9Zo"]Clubloose North Drifting for America - YouTube[/ame] It was a warm day but it was filled with friends and lots of tire smoke. You always go home from a Clubloose event with a layer of burnt rubber on your skin, but the drifters love it and live for that lifestyle. We burnt through a whole set of tires that day. The Achilles radials lasted much longer and performed much better than normal street tires! http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...pszxoli1ie.jpg The car also felt much better after being profesionally tuned by Jay Perry of The Subaru Shop. The car’s addition of power really helped keep those drifts going and make the car easier to get sideways. We can’t say enough about the entire exhaust system, and it seems that it takes that an a tune to get the car to wake up. We’re running a Borla Un equal length Header, Tanabe Midpipe, Perrin Overpipe, and Perrin 3 inch Catback Exhaust. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...psjesujvih.jpg We had a blast and we’re super pumped for the next event on July 25th! We’re also really excited to announce that Jeremy Lowe of Formula Drift will be coming up for the August 29, and 30 event! Jeremy will be doing drift demos and ride alongs! http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...ps76yietob.jpg |

Hello everyone! We know that we have not updated this in quite a while but we have some information to pass on!
We've been running drift events back to back! In August we had HIN going straight into a drift event. Then more recently we had events on the 12, and the 20th. Back to back weekends! We will be at another Clubloose event for October 4th, and then at the last event on the 24th and 25th. We're pretty pumped for it! The next step for the BRZ will be a cage. Andrew is now currently ready for A group but is held back because he does not have a cage for the car. Once we have a cage installed we will be able to do tandem drifts with other drivers! Andrew is excited to progress further and further and we are currently looking at working on the BRZ as a winter project since we will need much more power for next year. With the addition of a supercharger or turbocharger we will be able to maintain more intense drifts and remain competitive. Below are some photos from the most recent events! http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...pslhx5k69l.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...psjwwvtbt5.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...psfn5zjgbu.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...psitmjzbdf.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...pscsxb7jbs.jpg |
