ISC coilovers?? Any Good??
I saw these coilovers for 1200 on Bavarian Autosport wondering if anyone here has em' or knows anything good or bad about them since they're pretty cheap.

what do you plan to use the car for?
Daily? Track often? |

Daily and occasional twisty mountain runs.

Well I want a good drop and my car is over 100k so it's due for struts and shocks and also my front camber is off and since there's no adjustment I need to get camber plates. I also am planning a few track days in the near future. After adding all of that up coilovers seemed like a better solution and then I would have height adjustability if I wanted to go back up at any time.

Alright I figured a big name would be the best way to go just wondering if anyone had tried them. Any suggestions for being on a budget??

Personally I love having adjustable damping, being able to go from stiff on the fun day track day weekends to softer for daily driving is one of those things that just puts a smile on my face. With your thought of budget friendly in mind I'd suggest a set of FK Konigsports. They utilize track and street proven Koni adjustable dampers, and FKs great springs and levels. You can check them out HERE.

No more than 1500 definitely, the less I have to spend the better. I'm trying to buy ASAP due to the insides off my front tires. That konigsport kit looks great but there doesn't seem to be any alignment adjustability which is one of the main things I need

Vorshlag gives the option for 2.25 in 2.5 in and 60mm for coilovers do you know which ones are compatible with the fk's? Or any other camber/caster plates that people run with the fk's?

I've had a few guys successfully run the UUC camber plates in the past on the Fk coilovers.

I do not have info on the Vorshlag plates in my notes. If you can find out where they are measured from I can run in the back and measure the coils for you.

They say that the measurement is from the inside of the spring

And they also say the strut style matters as well there's an option for koni square and koni tapered I'm not sure how you would be able to tell that though

Just got out of the warehouse, they are just shy of two and a half inches internal diameter at the top of the spring.
As for the front struts, pretty sure they are squared by Vorshlags standards.
