Just installed the ISC front coilovers today. Chose the 'street sport' setup. 6 clicks from total soft. It is a little bumpy, but no bottoming out yet. I *just* installed them. Rear end is stock, lowered via software. Front end is as low as it can go with the ISC setup. Will need to roll the top of the arc on the fenders as they rub a little bit, but nothing horrible. Will update with any changes.

funny thing is there is very little (none) price difference on the ISC fronts only...

Yeah, I can see that. I would get the complete set in case something goes wrong with your air compressor or bags (in the future).

They are all separate. Air bags and shocks are separate, ISC sends you shocks and springs that are installed separate as well. So, you could do as I did, I replaced the shocks with theirs (which are dampening adjustable) and kept the air bags.

I guess a younger crowd would prefer the street sport setting, people like me (past mid-40s) would probably prefer a little more comfort.
