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.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
