ISC coilovers

Purchased a set of these after reading several good reviews, mostly on Subaru forums. Got them for a great price $820 shipped. Front spring rate is 180-12kg, rear is 233-9.9kg. Very well packaged, finish looks excellent. I have a sedan which was on Eibachs but I was just not to happy with the uneven stance and loose feel with the OE shocks. Installation was pretty straight forward, the fronts come with a separate clamp for the ABS and brake line. They are 32 way adjustable on damping. I have installed many suspensions but never a coilover system, there were absolutely no instructions supplied with this kit. There's a sheet that refers one back to their website for installation instructions. With that being said, it took me forever to get the right ride height. I set the damping at 15 clicks all the way around, I'm still playing with the adjustments. The rear feels a bit too firm on that setting for me. Rides excellent, very minor road noise is transferred into the car in comparison to stock, which I was expecting. No clunks, rattles, thumps, nothing of that nature. It has been two days since they have been on and I'm extremely happy and satisfied with them.

Nice to have a review on these, please post updates every so often, and if you have any pics to post feel free
BTW, yours is a RWD sedan right?

Yes, RWD sedan. I only have pics on my phone, prob not the best quality. Have no clue how to post them anyways. I have not purchased any camber kits, going to get an alignment and see where the camber is at. I can deal with about 2.5 degrees, I drive less than 10k a year.

Finally got the alignment done today. It was almost at -3' in the rear. Technician was able to get the rear to -2.3' , front is right at -2.2'. This is with all factory camber arms and bolts. I'm totally ok with those settings. I have put about 400 miles of the car since installation and everything feels great. No abnormal noises,clunks or rattles. Next thing to do will be to make some access holes for the rear damping adjustments.

Be sure that toe is set less than factory settings. Much too conservative and eats tires. Mine was 10 mm total toe from dealer, I had it set to 5 mm total. The car is a little more eager to turn now.
