Isc Coilovers

[limmyR33]

G'day Fellas,

i have a S15 JDM and i have just installed ISC coilovers.

i am having issues with them as when i turn left or right im getting a knocking noise.

i have checked out the coils and seems like that the springs are moving in their seats and is what is causing the knocking noise.

also i have seen that the pivot point on the inside of the coilover at the top below the strut tower is quite stiff and that it doesnt rotate with the cylinder therefore making the coils rotate. (if that makes sense)

does anyone else have an issue like this? if so how is this stopped?

your input is greatly appreciated.

thanks guys!!!

I've seen this happen on two other cars that I've installed ISC coilovers into and heard of a heap of other similar problems that people are having from forums. You get what you pay for unfortunately...

[limmyR33]

so this is not fixable?

what happened?

i herd that it eventually goes away...

i havent herd anything bad about isc tho.... this is the first.

I would take everything Salad says with a pinch of salt.....this is probably the second time Ive heard of this problem in over 2 years of distributing ISC.

I have had ISC for almost a year, and they have survived a beating and even an smack that killed my castor rods. Salad appears to have his panties in a twist for some reason and bags them out whenever he can, so yeah take it with a pinch of salt.

Unfortunately in this circumstance (S13/14/15) he is correct, I haven't seen this particular problem in Skylines, but they don't have struts.

Have also seen this same problem with tein/hsd/JIC/buddy club etc not only in S13 but also wrx/mazda fc (as they have similar front suspension set ups).

It depends on the quality and size of the spherical joint used in the strut top. The cheaper (not necessarily "cheap") strut tops have undersized and/or low quality spherical bearings that wear out very quickly. They then become restricted in their freedome of rotation, which causes the spring seat to carry that load.
