ISC Coilovers at EdgeAutosport!

[EdgeAutosport.com]

ISC Suspension is relatively new to the US market having been here for a little over four years now. They have been in the global market for over twelve years and operate out of a 3000 sqft. unit in New Hampshire. ISC supports some of the most competitive top level athletes and teams in Formula Drift and SCCA as well as competitive show and street vehicles. Form and Function is the name of their game.

ISC has recently released an entry level coil-over package for the first and second generation Mazdaspeed 3. The ISC N1 coil-over is the optimum suspension tool for improved handling and is best suited for street or weekend track use. The N1's offer both ride height and dampening adjustability.



The ISC N1 Coil-overs feature 32 step Damper Adjustability, pillowball upper mounts, thrust bearing kit, as well as front fully adjustable camber plates.



The piston rod is made from high rigidity steel and the shafts are valved according to the spring rate you choose. A shock dyno is used to ensure quality and consistent results. With a larger cylinder and piston design, ISC is able to offer advanced driving stability and the mono-tube damper is filled with high pressure nitrogen for stability and consistency. The threaded portion of the shaft is powder coated and salt spray coated for street durability.



Ride height is adjustable up to 3 inches on most applications and all ISC N1 Coil-overs feature a 2 year limited warranty on all products with a 5 year limited warranty for coilovers that are used for strictly track use.




The ISC N1 Coil-overs are only $955 and include shipping to the continental US. That is a great price considering the amount of adjustability that you get as well as the fact that they come with front endlinks.

ISC Suspension Adjustable Coilovers Mazdaspeed 3 2007 - 2009 - $955
ISC Adjustable Coilovers Mazdaspeed 3 2010 - 2013 - $955
ISC Suspension Adjustable Coilovers Mazdaspeed 6 2006 - 2007 - $855

And yes, these are included in the tax sale.

AS always, let me know if you have any questions!

@EdgeAutosport.com;

I really liked these, I have been thinking about doing coilovers as I would like to get lower than what my H&R springs do right now... I mean it says
"The ISC N1 coilover is the optimum suspension tool for improved handling for your street or weekend track car."

I really like the 5 year limited warranty part until I read this part of it...

"ISC Suspension’s 5 year Limited Warranty does not apply to the following:

1. Any products that are used on public roads, highways, and or government maintained roads or non-motorsport roads or tracks."

Kinda contradicts itself I do believe....

[exentix]

Installing a set this weekend. They seem to be a good quality kit from what i can see. I guess the big test is how they ride and handle. Anything has to be better than my blown to shit stock suspension.

[jrho]

@EdgeAutosport.com; I believe the warranty they offer is a 2 year limited. That's what I was offered when I ordered through them.

[alextheguineapig]

Wish these were on sale back before I got my Koni's. My rears are too stiff I think for every day bumpy roads but I'm so afraid to snap a bolt and adjust them :/ Nice looking kit though!

[skiptowncat]

I need a set of these, saving up!!!

Yeah I just read through their warranty section a bit better and I see that. The 5 yr limited warranty applies to "track" cars but all products have a 2 year limited warranty which is still pretty good. I'm going to edit the post a bit to reflect that.

Thanks, was kinda confused about that.

These will be looked at when I get around the purchasing coilovers, the look nice and they offer a good amount of features that I am wanting. Would definitely want to hear some peoples reviews about them as well.

How do these compare to bcs?

Well I haven't personally ridden in a car with the ISC's yet but based off the looks of them, I would pick them over BC. I will reserve further judgment until I have a chance to drive or ride in a car with them though.

How come when you search the Edgeautosport.com website and put in:
Year
Make
Model
These don't show up under the Mazdaspeed 3 coilovers section? @himurax13, check these out.

When we add a product to our site, it takes it 24 hrs to refresh and show up in the search filter. We had just added them when I posted this thread but you can click the links in the post to get to the product on the site.

@Voltron Locos; these the ones you are running?

[exentix]

Ill try to do a half wit review of these within a week or two

Sounds good to me. I would like to see how they perform and how they are. My H&R springs are ok, but I am going to start saving to coils and may try and do that by end of summer.

[Elvisrosales88]

Can't wait for the reviews.

Sorry, but I am gonna be finalizing my suspension setup shortly. I am too old and crippled to keep switching shit out, haha.

What are you getting now? What was wrong with your old setup?

[himurax13]

Well somebody kept harping me to cut some bumpstops, so I am going to switch out springs, get more camber, and even out the front and rear static height.

[The Nut]

Did some research. They seems to have Dyno tested well under simulated track conditions (less than 5% deformation), but no mention of street performance. May have something to do with why their warranty is honored for track use only. Just sayin.

[trancehead]

I had a set of these and loved them. I bought them when they were first made available through AJW on MSF in April. IMO theyre a great set. It could be made a bit better with a set of adjustable endlinks instead of a fixed-length set. Easy to adjust (except for having to raise the car and take off wheels obviously. I took them off shortly before parting out because of monies. A nice surprise when myself and @leon78; installed these was that we went to get an alignment and to our surprise we were well within spec and did 0 adjustment. I had JBR camber arms as well.

How were they in day to day driving?

Obviously they were stiffer, but that is to be expected from a set of coilovers like this. I didnt mind them day to day, but then again, I couldn't tell the difference between a roof rack and a cop, Because Fully mounted lol.

It should also be noted that they carry three different level spring rates/valving: Street Comfort, Street Sport, and Track/Race. I went middle of the road with Street Sport and was advised that Track/Race was not applicable to a daily driver.

If ISC is availble for the 3's I'm sure @EdgeAutosport.com; could get you the set of the N1's for the 6's. They do make them and several members on here are running them. This is also bad news for me now because they will be getting MOAR monie from me!!







@manila; I was wondering if you would pop your head in here

[Mazdazilla6]

Once again no 6 love. Sigh.

they make these coilovers for the ms6. edgeautosport.com; are you gonna stock any of the ms6 coilovers?

[SofaKingAwesome]

Curious to see how people like these, I've gotta get rid of all my stock shit soon.

[SofaKingAwesome]

why are the specv guys always so touchy? lol

[msantana101]

I'm surprised there aren't any "suspension gurus" in here yet crying off their soapbox because these aren't "3k" coilovers. These look interesting. Maybe the H&R springs will need an upgrade soon.

Honestly, unless you are getting AST's or something similar, most of the coil over kits are going to perform in a similar manner. If you don't set them up properly, they can make handling worse.

Personally, I like the color scheme of this kit.

I don't want to assume that you might be referring to me, but seeing as how I've talked a lot shit about "cookie-cutter" setups here over the years, I can't help but feel the need to respond.

I have a great setup that works for me, and I've been around a loooooong time. I don't feel the need to butt in every time one of these setups pops up just to repeat myself.

Seriously though, you get what you pay for.

Does this setup have a place in the market?

Absolutely.

Would I put it on my car?

Not likely.

If you've read enough of my posts about the already-available setups in this market, you know why.

If you haven't and you're curious as to why, shoot me a PM. I don't want to clutter up Edge's thread any more than I have to.

Wasn't referring to anyone in particular, just seems to be the general consensus when it comes to coilovers under a certain price point on these forums. I have respected your suspension knowledge, that's why I have reached out to you personally in the past. Sorry you feel this may have been directed towards you.

No worries.

Even if your post had been directed toward me, I wouldn't have taken anything in it personally.

I just figured I'd speak for myself (and anyone else who feels the same) about why I don't typically clutter up threads like this these days if I can help it.

Now -

Enough cluttering!


Sorry @EdgeAutosport.com; !

[wake2011]

I'm interested in their actual spring rates over the "names" of the sets. I say this because I feel like I'm looking at another set of Ksports Pro's which are within the same price point and almost the same design. Difference being that Ksport lists the spring rates, and ISC lists names. Only other difference I can "see" from the pics is the perch for the rear springs.

Edit: pulled up their page and found this....Street comfort/sport.....2.3L 2010+ (F-kg 180-10 & R-kg 210-3.9 &6.6 M3 RC.) However, admittedly, I'm not too sure what that translates to in Lbs. Thoughts?

Here's the Link: http://iscsuspension-na.com/coilover-application-guide/

[Shorty_Meeks]

Hmmmm really????

[LumberJack]

Going to be ordering these for my car. ISC does offer fully customizable spring rates with all there sets at no additional charge. I'll personally be going extremely stiff for drag something along the lines of 12kg/mm front and either 16/18kg/mm for the rear. This is far beyond the spring rates of there "track" coilovers.
