Certain coilovers we ran out of stock on so we are express airing them from the manufacturer for the customers. We have another stocking order arriving here in the US in a few weeks.

Hey I really like your set up on your wheels. I was just wondering what was your whole set up including all offsets and what not. Any rubbing? Any mods on fenders? Thank

Sorry I missed your questions guys. They are Stern ST-2 Rims 19x8.5 +38 offset, but I have 15mm spacers front and rear. So it's a +23 offset now. Both front and rear fenders are rolled. For some reason I am getting a tiny rub on the right rear passenger side when I hit bigger bumps, but not on the rear driver side and they are lowered the same amount. I have a camber kit in the rear so the next time I get an alignment I will add some negative camber to the rear for a little extra clearance from the fender.

Here is my progress thread for any more information you may need https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/machines-acura-tl-supercharged-s2000-build-thread-updated-3-13-16-a-843060/

That's pretty sweet, but damn 400 miles! John said he would take some pics for me if I came up to NY. I have an insanely busy September ahead of me so I doubt I will make it up there this year before the stock rims go back on for fall/winter, but next summer I'm getting my ass up there for sure!

Dirty atm. I am currently cutting toe bolts and awaiting new ones for my camber adjustment.

Pics of clean ride and drop coming soon.

The 100 or so miles I drove with the ISC's so far has been breathtaking.

I am looking forward to a 2000 mile roadtrip in a couple weeks.

Anyone have any updates on the ISC N1s? Any problems or noises so far?

From the specs these could also be a great budget track coilover (if you get your own spring rates). The rebound only adjustment is actually preferred over the rebound/compression all in one adjustment in every other coilover. I think these are actually the first coilovers for the TL that are rebound only. I bought the BC Racing BRs but now I'm looking at selling those and picking these up... Any thoughts?

Haven't driven my car the last 3 months or so but I put 2-3k miles on them before I garaged my baby. Then been working great for me, no problems what so ever. I bought the sport/track coils.

How is the ride with the track version? I was thinking about getting the track version or custom spring rates since I like driving low and flush without smacking rim into my fender...

Excelerate, do you revalve the dampers for custom spring rates? Let's say for 16k f/12k r set up?

Yes it would have to be re-valved if you went to a custom spring rate. But it's done right at the factory before we ship it to you.

Apologize for the newb status...have been reading on AZ since I bought my TL in 2005 but finally set up an acct! After reading numerous posts seems like coilovers are what I want for the stance. The price for these coilovers seem reasonable but how do they compare with other manf? Like K-sport or Tein for example? Thanks in advance!

Sorry haven't been on much but the ride isn't to bad at all. Only thing that I would change about it is maybe go with a slightly softer rear spring rate, my car is stripped out so there is next to no weight in the rear. Other than that it awesome, handles like a champ.

These are superior to the K Sport in terms of quality but firmer than the TEIN. The XLR8 ISC coilovers are fully threaded shock bodies with adjustable damping and top mounts. The TEIN coilovers are partially threaded with the option of adjustable damping (if you buy the SS or SA) with no top mounts (which is partially why they are softer).

I have to measure to see where I'm at ground to fender, but it's probably in the 23" range somewhere. My fronts are maxed my rear isn't. Damper is set to full stiff, but I have the street comfort spring rates. Usually the lower you go the more harsh the ride can get, but honestly with these I really haven't noticed much change in ride quality from when I was only dropped 1.5" to where I am now.

With the fronts maxed there is about 1.5" of thread left between the top and lower collar. The rear has a ton of thread showing, but obviously all of the threads will not be hidden even if you maxed out the rear because the front still has threads showing. I used to have pics of this to show you, but I deleted them from my phone.
