XLR8 ISC N1 Coilovers Review

I got and installed my coils last night.

I set the damper halfway to 16 at each corner and the ride height 2" lower than stock. (I still need to do final adjustments in a few days).

Install was a breeze, everything fit well, all pieces were in the box no damage etc...

Once on my car they felt 100 times better than I ever thought they would!!! There very very smooth even over bad bumps and my car handles great!!!! I've driven an 01 TL with Tein super sports and imho I like the N1's better.

I would recommend these to anyone. I'll post back in a few weeks after everything is level and the suspension settles






(just a little different than the stock ones )

Bring both down a tinny bit more, but the front a little extra to make it appear level . Looks good !

How difficult was the installation? How much time did it take?

I know its adjustable but I wanted to know how low is the drop in his pic. Juts ordered some Teins for my car and I wanted to know how low i'd have to go to at least fill up the gap.
