Fooz Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Found this on eBay, anyone tried these here? Is there a noticable improvement? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/231919343673?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 direct feel from steering and firm. I think those might be squeaking after months as they are not rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Sounds like it firms everything up & improves braking & tyre wear somewhat. There is some poly lube included so shouldn't squeak if applied properly yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plankton007 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I think the lube is mainly for installation purposes. Anything not rubber will end up squeaking I believe. I do want a set for my car as well though, slight squeaking for some handling improvements are worth it I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISFBloke Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 will get it installed around the 10th but will not be able to track test it for a while. So street impressions only but will report back ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISFBloke Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 got it installed. First impressions: - front end now handles like a gokart - can more confidently throw the car into corners - grip seem to have increased by noticeable amount - big squeaks initially but after 5 minutes of driving completely silent. - feel more in contact with tires/road better steering feedback. Overall I feel if the noise will not be an issue this will live up to it's hype, it could really be some of cheapest upgrades that offer significant performance gains. I hope this helps. Will report back periodically on how it feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinkz Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks for the review. Sounds promising! Group buy, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISFBloke Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 So far I am happy with this product. Little bit of noise but not a deal breaker by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISFBloke Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 As promised I am reporting back on these after some long (ish) term testing. Still happy there is minimal noise and great handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 We should all get involved in that group buy which is active now, sounds like a must have! Ill get the oil separator at the same time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISFBloke Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Still happy and the noise is completely gone now. Will track test tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Im getting mine installed this Friday at Lexus Chatswood, very excited.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plankton007 Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Getting mine installed today with my coils and a wheel alignment. Apparently a wheels alignment and toe adjustment is something that needs done as the bushings make obvious any previous imperfections the car might have had.

Yeah i was definitely going to get that done at the same time! The ISF has a horrible tendency to chew out the inside of the tyres, resulting in having to replace the tyres far earlier than necessary. From all reports, these make that issue disappear. So if you keep the car for a few tyre changes, then the mod pays for itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bling Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hey Sparky ever owned a ss or clubby with lowered springs same thing. Good by inner edge even with a GOOD wheel alignment, the price you pay cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Yeah Ive had a VX SS and a VZ Maloo, great cars, awesome bang for your buck i reckon.. I still think the VF GTS is a crazy bargain, can get a low KM car now for low - mid $60. Thats a 2013-2014 bloody 430kw (standard) monster for that money?! Crazy.. The ISF is miles ahead in refinement and image, but there is a big part of me (BIG!!) that would love to trade the ISF for one of them. Awesome cars.

ISFBloke Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Track test done. Definitely better front end during turn in and noticeably more stable under high speed heavy braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
