BC or ISC Coilovers?

[CeleronXXX]

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a set of coilovers for my PP GT. I was looking into the bc's but just recently saw that ISC has come out with a comparable setup. I know that both companies are known to be a "bargain" brand but was curious as to which coil would be a better choice. I don't daily drive my car its more of a weekend warrior and will never see bad weather. I currently have sportlines on the car and I'd like a little bit lower stance than what I currently have which is the reason I'm switching. The other coils available below 1800 don't seem to have the height adjustability I'm looking for. Any input is appreciated.

I would go ISC. I had BC in the past and wasn't impressed.

So what's the end result??

From the research I've done and some of the responses I've gotten i believe ISC will be my choice as long as I can confirm they have the same drop potential as the BC's.

 

[juan_tony1]

I believe 3 inch drop on lethal site...

But I'm going to give isc coilovers a try as soon as I free up some cash

yeah they claim initial drop of -.5" in the rear to -3.0" and +1.0" to-3.00" in the front. That sounds like plenty to me, I just want to make sure that the drop is inline with the BC drops I've been seeing. I cant find specs on drop for the BC's other than its alot.

Had ISC on my Evo X and they worked pretty good! No experience with BC.

Had ISC on an STi about 5 years ago. They were good but I don't know how they would compare to the FRPP shocks/strutts with the Steeda ultralight linear springs. Personally that is the route I'm going to go this time.

I have no direct experience with either. But have generally heard better things about ISC, from people whose opinion I care about.

I am in the same boat. I am comparing these 2 coil overs and a static set up like steeda ultra lite linear/bmr handling Springs and FRPP shocks/struts. I really want to know how these compare.

They are both good entry level coilovers.

However in my opinion they are typically not valved appropriately.

I ordered a set of BC coils and had swift springs added as well as proper valving for my racing application.

Well just ordered ISC Coilovers from Moddiction, hope these are good for street use.
