ISC Suspension's BRZ Build

[ISC Suspension]

We're not dead! We will be updating this in a few days!

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:


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.


The installation was smooth and the endlinks look great with our control arms.





We have some other goodies too, and I will update this thread tomorrow!

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.

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!

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.

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


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!

Odd, I could download it but here it is for reference!

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!

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!





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:





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!

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:

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.
