Grassroots Motorsports 152 Our suspension kit came from e not familiar with ISC, Thanks to their price point, f brands and third world pig-iron bits available on the Inter e not a "cheap" brand so much as e a "value" brand in the truest sense of the word. The complete ISC kit runs for one corner of some true high-end race shocks. And with high-end spend thousands of dollars on custom valving. We'r high-end shocks aren't worth shock absorber is a thing of in action. What we are e getting 90 percent of the performance for 20 percent of the cost, and that's math a lot of our readers will appreciate. In the case of the Z, it's about a grand for the entire setup. We wer ned on to of BimmerWorld, who r installs ISC products on customer and personal vehicles. "You're just not going to fnd a better product for s not r outperform their price point, because r of the major-name, higher-end shocks for a fraction of the price. "W performance at BimmerWorld, and while MCS shocks ar choice for racing and higher-end builds, ISC products end up on a lot number of our customer street and ." Some kind words indeed. Let's elaborate: We found the ISCs - ong powder coat and gr thousand street miles later, our initial impressions are holding up. As for s comment about get- ting better performance out of these shocks than some well-known fxtures in the suspension market, that's an oversimplifcation, but still high praise. The ISCs are single-adjustable ebound setting being adjustable. The ratcheting collars provide 32 clicks from full soft to full stiff, but we can't r e are 32 discrete adjustment there's about fve or six perceptible ranges of operation within those clicks, which is more than enough to fne-tune the handling. It's important to remember that shocks do not affect the weight transfer of a vehicle while corner- ing. Rather weight transfer. Read those sen- So when we tune our shocks, we need to remember that we are affecting the transient handling, or the handling that is occur- ring when the car is transferring weight. This weight transfer can be the result of a control input or a surface irr , but the shocks ar elevant when the suspen- sion is in motion. PROJECT CAR: NISSAN 350Z "IT'S NOT REALLY EVEN FAIR TO JUST SAY THEY OUTPERFORM THEIR PRICE POINT, BECAUSE THEY'RE EVEN BETTER THAN THAT." When it comes to suspen- sion hardwar more dollars equals more performance. Then we received a tip: Check out the ISC line of coil-overs. but we were told to expect above-par performance. So we ordered a set.
