Hi guys,

I've got a little bit of a dilemma. My girlfriend smashed my ride a couple of months ago and I'm nearly ready to get it back on the road except I'm up for a new set of coilovers. Now my question is that I'm looking at getting a set of ISC Coilovers and I'm not sure if I should get a set of adjustable swaybars from whiteline aswell. I live in the south coast of NSW and our roads are pretty crappy so I don't want to comprimise ride quality to much. Does anyone have any experience with the ISC coilovers ie. are their spring rates exceptionally hard or not enough adjustment etc. Does anyone have a combination of the whiteline and ISC gear.

Any feedback would be great as this is the last stop for me before my car is drivable again.

Thanks

Sway bars are the way to go for sure the best suspension mod I done on my old car

just make sure you get adjustable set.I had coil overs fitted which wear 8kg front

6kg rear and they wear way to hard and dangerous to drive they didn't have enough

travel and because they were to hard didn't soak up the bumps and skipped over the

top thus reduced braking.On a section of road that I allways tested on were actually

slower. I couldnt wait to get them out they were crap,on a race track only they may of

been ok, may being the key word.What I ended up doing was getting SK bilsteins

group buy kit and they were fantastic car handled like a dream firm but not over the

top and soaked up all the bumps and they are height adj buy the circlip on the shock

body.Its just a old meyth that you need a stiff set of coil overs for a car to handle

thats just not true.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
