I've heard nothing but praise for BC coilovers and am almost ready to buy a set but thought I would check prices of coilovers from Japan

BC coilovers are $1300 delivered but I've also be quoted on these

Tein Super Streets $1650 (6-9 week delivery)

Greddy Type S - $1670 (6-9 week delivery)

Not sure which way to go as I would prefer something sooner than 6-9 weeks but also want a good product.

Any recommendations?

I thought ISC coilovers were in the same basket as G4,D2 etc and not very good?

Just my perception mind you not an attempt to stir things up

Can I have more info on how these compare to BC coilovers?

+1 for BC's

I'd put the BC's up against the Tein SS or Greddy type S any day... I've heard plenty of horror stories about both esp the Tein SS.

Just because a product comes from a big brand name it doesn't automatically make it a great product these are very much "entry level" items and they are not tuned for local conditions - remember google is your friend!

Good luck

Definetly not in the same league mate. G4 and D2 are generic. ISC is made by ISC. Alot of the design work is also done in Australia along with the new Australian made thrust kit. Our coilovers are also valved to suit different spring rates unlike alot of others out there in the same price bracket. The ISC N1 coilovers have been used in winning DA (national series drift) cars along with the 180sx on the tv show Blood Sweat and Gears being awarded best handling car and the list go's on. If you need any information on the coilovers please send me an email at [email protected] or give me a call on 0413804117.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
