Thanks for all of the compliments so far.

I pulled it back in the shop this evening to make some minor adjustments to the rear wheel housings because it rubbed a few times if I really threw the car around last night.
I used it to pick up parts tonight when I was done and with 2 brake rotors a set of pads and 2 gallons of oil in the back I had no issues.
That was my first real drive and I am super happy with everything at this point. It felt good to walk out of the parts store and see it parked there under the lights.
When I got back to the shop one of my friends hopped in for a spirited drive and the car was great.
I'm using the recommend damper settings and I'm not sure if I want to change them. I haven't put the trunk back together yet because I don't know if I'll be able to adjust the top of the dampers once I do. I'm going to drive it this weekend and figure out what final setting are going to be but right now it responds to everything really nicely.

[QUOTE=amesser325;1575876]great setup! what tires did you put on and what offset are those rims?

RCB

To be honest I don't remember the offset. 20" Style 128s are pretty rare so I jumped on them when I found a set for sale. I figured I would make them work, if not I would sell them.
I was able to fit them perfectly with no spacers and the fender work I mentioned. I would consider them the perfect offset for the given width and next time I have them off I'll check.
The tires are Yokohama S.drive
F:225/30R20
R:255/30R20
I would have liked to get a little better match on the tires but with 20s it is a challenge.
A 285/25R20 would have been a little better in the rear but hard to get and I probably would hit the fender since they would be pretty square on the rim.

so whosl all running the ISC suspension? holy crap does mine make tons of noise.

pocholin

I am running them. I do have a noise now but it is a ball joint on my left side that has gone bad.

timmay77

Define noise......?

I ordered mine in Feb 2.

Received them in Feb 12.

After a few wrong parts sent by ISC, I FINALLY got the right stuff and installed them this past weekend.

No noises. No bottoming out. No issues so far. Going to drive it for a while before verifying everything is perfect, then I will post up my review.......

I got so tired of waiting on alternatives for E60 coilovers i got a 2nd car, a E34 540 station wagon for half the price of the KW v3 coilovers. And its already lowered on new springs and shocks. lol

I asked if Island Road makes a sedan AWD version, iv gotten no response. Godspeed came out with a AWD coilover for the E60s but no one did a review yet, there was such a demand, stores cant more until like mid May. Not sure if it will fit a E61 one tho. The kit was initially for about 900 bucks.

timmay77

Anything for a sedan will not fit the wagon. The rear suspension is completely different.

Now that the bugs are ironed out of the ISC kit, I am very happy with the results so far. Andrew was a pleasure to work with. Answering emails the same day and quickly resolving my parts issues.
