Isis performance lower control arms
 
Hey everyone, just need suggestion on ISIS performance products.
If anyone know where they r made, how's the quality and if they are any good.
Please do not reply if you don't have idea or never dealt with isis performance, i dont want it to get flooded with "oh it's a no name brand so must be bad" or you get what you pay for.
So please to help others and me as well if you've had this product before or any of the isis products let us know.

Thanks in advance

How do you plan to use them? That will help get useful feedback.

good bang for your buck but with short longevity....

Mostly daily driving, but I do canyon runs once in a while like once a month. So far hasn't tracked the car yet.
It's just for its price and it looks pretty good but again everything looks good on the pictures, that's why I need feedback from someone who had em before or still using them.
I see they produce alot of nissan parts, mostly 240s

Their 240 parts are just chinese junk, but with better customer service as almost all of it goes through Enjuku.

Can't imagine they make anything worth buying. Seems like there are too many good suspension options for the frs/brz to bother with questionable, cheap parts.

Binary_fission 08-19-2015 04:13 PM

Well again just because they are cheap doesn't mean they are bad. It's just their site has no info where they produce ,what materials they use and such.
And specially Enjuku selling them. Enjuku is a legit store and i guess if they are selling isis it has to be decent

Sounds like you're trying to rationalize your decision to buy them. Power to you.

In aftermarket parts land, you get what you pay for, and it's usually cheaper to do it right the first time.

Isn't it cool how you ask for douchebags to not come here just to bash. "I know nothing, but the price makes it bad," "you get what you pay for."

I just purchased and installed an ISIS Downpipe. It went on without issue and looks fine. I mean it's a piece of metal with welds. Oddly enough it looks like the rest of them. Oh it's cheap metal? I wouldn't know. I do know air flows through it and it didn't have fitment issues.

Just buy what you want. If it sucks, replace it. I have all cheap exhaust parts on my car. I don't have any issues so far. I got what I paid for; pipes to let the dirty air out of my engine. I guess I am stupid AND cheap, lol.

It's only been a day, but car felt a little better with it and it's not broken so far.

Exhaust is one thing.

Moving parts? pass.

I've owned lots of cheap stuff and lots of expensive parts. Coming from 240 land where 95% of aftermarket parts are junk (see: isis, megan, cxracing, etc) I'd advise never bothering with any of their suspension parts. Yes, I've had ebay stuff, too, and it was quickly replaced with SPL.

Will it last? probably. But why risk it for a couple hundred dollars in savings? Also the 14 cent metric rod ends they use on their stuff are really junky, and a quality replacement metric rod end is 2-2.5x more expensive than a 5/8" rod end from QA-1, FK, etc. and much harder to source. A quality 5/8" rod end can be at your house the next day if you buy from summit, jegs, speedway, etc.

Yeah let's not bash each other, this thread is basically to bash, discuss and suggest brand and parts. I didn't make this to insult forum members.
I thank who ever had experience with their product and your imput. I know and I've already heard this many time you get what you pay for, but sometimes that's not the case, there are sometimes same product made by same manufacturer but because they put their company name on it gets sold for higher price.

Protip: Isis Performance = Enjuku's in-house "Megan Racing" brand.

Parts are sourced from any manufacturer in Asia willing to make parts at their price points. Taiwan, China, Vietnam, other parts of Southeast Asia. Hell, it can be made in Japan or in California if they can make it cheap enough...

Look at Megan Racing. Ask whether they actually make any of their own parts. That is your answer.

Does Nike make their own terrible shoes? Nope! Not sure the point. If someone doesn't build their parts in house it's trash?

Why don't you re-read what I wrote?

I never said anything about trash parts. I just said they use 3rd party manufacturers to source their parts at the price point(s) desired. I was also answering someone else's question on where the parts are made.

It's what Megan Racing does.

Fair enough. I thought you were implying they are trash because of it.
