How are the isc n1 coilovers looking to buy coilovers

[FR-S Matt]

$1000 will get you a height adjustable coilover from a reputable company, KW, RCE, Bilstein. The ones claiming to have damping adjustable in this price range are prone to failure and ride harshly like the BC's. I learned the hard way with height adjustable only when I lowered my car. No damping adjustability made my ride very bouncy, like the rebound was out of control over a small bump in the road. I didn't want a large wheel gap, but I also did not want to be slammed. I wanted a balance of being lowered with symmetrical LCA's in the back to not kill the geometry of the car.

I then swapped to the V3's and now have full control over rebound and compression. Doesn't matter how low I am, I can make these coilovers ride so comfortably, and sporty. It's unreal the difference between a $2000 coilover system versus a $1000. Even though you may not adjust it many times over the coarse of ownership, just having the ability TO adjust it to begin with is what makes them great. Having not tested many of the other setups around that $1000 I can't comment for all of them. I just know that only having height adjustable coils have many limitations including ride height to match the damping.

More clicks != quality

Each click represents a full turn, each turn the needle and jet get closer together, so yes each click does do something. Can you feel it on the "butt dyno" each individual click when driving on the street? Many probably don't, BUT it is adjusting and the range on our product specificity is pretty large from full soft to hard. This allows for an individual to really fine tune their setup to their preference/ driving style.

My .02 cents for the sub 1500.00 category would be a coilover with preload separate from ride height, actual adjustment (rebound/ compression), and top plates included. No sense in shorting yourself of features and quality. There are some good options out there ( BC, ISC Fortune, Tein Flex, etc.

Here is our data for adjustability on our street setting (Street Sport) coilovers:




Here is the Track Race:




The Street Sport and the Track Race are two completely different products. The pistons and shim stacks are different beasts entirely. The result is a range of products that cater to an individuals needs. Our Street Sport's (S018-S) hardest setting is comparable to the SOFTEST setting on Track/Race (S018-T).

To the individual who was interested in our product. If your car is a street machine/ weekend fun car I would suggest the Street Sport. Message one of our dealers.

Hope that helped.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Thanks for the support,

I think a good way to figure out a decent price point for a coilover system would be to look at how much it cost to replace the stock suspension with the stock suspension. A LOT of people love the stock suspension (including Jezzy). So, if you want something as equally amazing, you're going to have to either match or exceed that price point. I still haven't figured out how much the stock system costs tho

Food for thought

i dont track my car, so im going to throw out the disclaimer IM NOT SAYING THESE ARE HIGH PERFORMANCE RACING COILOVERS but for the street they are fine; sturdy, can adjust from soft to stiff, give a nice height range, and are affordable. my only issue would be i wish they came with thrust bearings. im on my second set of ISC N1 (IS300 and FR-S) and these are a little noisy. also, adjustable front end links would be cool since at the lowest setting in the front my sway bar is reaching for the sky (slight exaggeration for the imagery).

Thrust Bearings are now standard on most N1 applications sir, including the BRZ/FRS.
