Coilovers

[ecenshu]

I'm pretty sure my springs are 5kg/4kg...gonna see If I can dig up my original receipts...

I got kei-office 8KG/6KG... their pretty good, would reccomend them but make sure you get the damper adjustment tool with them, cos you cant change the damper in the rear with out it..

Hey mate

My friend bought ISC coilovers for his 4dr 32 and is very happy with results.

He has spent a lot of money on ISC branded products and never has issues.

ATM i have king springs and will be definitely looking to get ISC coilovers in the future.

$1500 for the set isnt to much of a bite out the wallet for good results.

If they also still make these, you can get ISC non N1's and save about 200 bucks, definately good enough for a street application.

[Krishy]

whats the difference from the N1's to the non N1's?

[Damo_R34]

Non N1- "This coilover is currently only available for S13/S14/S15, Mazda FC and WRX. It is basically the same spec as our N1 coilover except this model comes without pillowball/camper tops on the front coilovers. Instead the cambere top is replaced with a non adjustable strut top. Camber on the front can still be adjusted via an enlongated hole in the bottom bracket."

Quick question... how do u know when your coil overs have shat themselves???

cuz mine are bumpy as anything... kinda giving me the shits now

came with the car from japan... they are blue but no idea wot brand they are

i know they are adjustables if that helps..

[ISC-Performance]

ISC N1 coilovers = $1499. These are 32 step damper adjustable and unlike alot of the "jap" ones ISC are base height adjustable. The difference between the ISC N1 and the basics is the front pillowballs, the N1's have them and the basics do not. Pillowballs are there for better steering response allowing the top of the strut to move around when cornering etc. ISC coilovers are SA based and we pride ourselves on our customer service!

If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to throw me a pm,Ryan

The most common blue coilover to come out of japan would be Cusco. Have you checked for leaks etc? Could also be worn pillowballs at the top of the strut, siezed shock etc.

Ryan, can you adjust camber on the front coils on all models? How is this done? I bought my car with the coils and received no instruction from the guy i bought it from.

[Luke_ENR34]

u will need upper arms or bushes Damo. Its the only way to adjust camber on the front for sklyines.

and yes i have them lol

that'll be good if you can find out.

My Bilsteins are 400lb (7kg) at the front & 450lb (8kg) at the rear.

I wouldn't mind going a bit softer on the rears though, maybe 5 or 6kg.

[Luke_ENR34]

mine are 10 front 8 rear. They dont seem to hard and offer a good amount of travel in the spring.

[SLED]

I was just talking to Matt (SK's son) who said that is way too stiff Luke. They recommend about 5 or 6 on the front and 4 or 5 on the rear with heavy sway bars to compensate........unless your vehicle is mainly used for track.

Spoke to Polyair Suspension in Sydney today, who are very knowledgeable about damping rates, and they said that even though Jap stuff have either 16 or 32 steps of adjustment, the difference between the softest setting and the hardest is not as great as a European shocker with only 9 settings..........go figure?!

[Luke_ENR34]

ive just got nismo sway bars but my front nismo one is to big for the clamp and doesnt fit dunno if i need a gtr front one or not.

i can personally vouch for Ryans customer service

yeah Luke we need GTR front sway bars you may also need GTR rear but for me its GTSt in the rear

it was my understanding the ISC only do the N1 here no point doing the cheapies

[Luke_ENR34]

cheers steve

Didnt know i need a gtr front but thanks

My nismo GT-t one fitted on the rear fine.

[Madaz]

yeah i almost bought a whiteline one but @ Shauns last saturday on the hoist looked and my car against whatshisnames and definitely different layout due to AWD

[Luke_ENR34]

cool, now to look for a gtr front one

[sneaky1]

have tein hr in mine with 35mm cusco sway bars. depending on the rd they can be harsh but generally they are good. no body roll but yet the way they are set there is still plenty of movement for general driving.
