Anyone bought ISC coilovers yet?
 
Just wondering about these, they seem to have been popular with the Subaru crowd (a friend had them on his GC8 car and loved/swore by them), and they're making now for the FRS/BRZ platform evidently. I found out by seeing a group buy on BRZ forum (not affiiliated with it, but figured I'll show the link as the info on the coilovers is there) - http://www. subaru brz forum .com/20-subaru-brz-classified-forum/4639-isc-coilover-groupbuy.html (take the spaces out)

I think for the deal they have going on there, $875 shipped with a 2 year warranty. I'm thinking it'd be a great deal. Says they're independently built as well so its not BC/Megan stuff

Basically wondering if anyone here had em on a Subaru or on an FRS/BRZ?
Thoughts? Reviews? etc

Thanks all

I don't want to come off as sounding pretentious, but when it comes to suspension...you get what you pay for.

I've used a few different brands and I can say to someone who does HPDE on the regular. The Fortune autos on my S13 did just as good of a job for $1000 as the $1800 Ground controls on my E46 M3.
In fact after the 30+ cars I've owned and modifying the suspension on most. The company that stands out was AST on my E36 M3, mainly because of service. I bought the car with those coilovers (so I admittedly couldn't tell the difference over stock) and one shock needed to be replaced, turnaround time was super fast and very customer service oriented.

However the point is, I do HPDE on the regular and I'm still not good enough of a driver to make a discerning difference on coilover quality from a handling standpoint.
If you're talking about how long the coilovers last, then the 2 year warranty would be enough for me, as I might not even keep the car beyond that time frame.

Lastly, I'd really prefer someone to chime in who HAS OWNED these coilovers as first-hand experience is what matters to me, not "my buddy's friend", "my friend", "a guy I know", etc.

tl;dr - I asked if anyone had bought them and used them, not the opinion of someone who hasn't owned them and simply thinks cheap = bad.
