I've been seeing alot of this *ISIS and Circuit Sport brand parts around that seem to sell for pretty affordable prices. Are they too good to be true? Or are they legit products worth dishing out the dough for? I mostly see these products on Enjukuracing.com. If anyone has any experience with these 2 brands i would appreciate some feedback about them, good or bad. I personally dont believe in buying big name products just for the name. If there are other companies out there with products that perform just as well, but for a fraction of the price, I'm all for it.

Cool, I appreciate that feed back. What about their suspension parts? anyone have any experience with their suspension parts?

i had a circuit sports coolant resevoir, it was a piece of junk.
i had circuit sports RUCA once as well, they held up well and were good quality, the 1 complaint i had was the threaded rod in them wasnt long enough..i wanted more adjustment out of them..it wasnt bad i just dont think they are for super slammed cars, all in all they were worth the money.
ive never owned anything from isis so cant help there.

I have a circuit sport 3inch downpipe in front of me right now. the welds are good, metal is thick, and the flanges are flat.

Can't ask for much more from a pipe.

It's for sale too, so PM if you want it. /shameless plug

I have full faith in enjuku. Those guys have been around for a while and if they are willing to put their name on the line its good enough for me. Any problems i've seen here or on the other 240 site they have backed the person and made sure they were happy.

That being said I wouldnt get their coils. I have no personal expierence with them BTW. There are others out there for a little more $$ that have great reviews KTS for one.

I have no hesitation when buying ISIS parts. I have their short shifter and their high pressure steering hose. The short shifter had AMAZING build quality, and I've had no problems with it whatsoever. The steering hose was also put together very well, and has not given me any problems. As long as you're not buying coils from them, then I say they're pretty good. I say don't buy coils from them because of a fundamental rule: Cheap coils aren't going to do you good in the long run.

And I have the curciut sports oil catch can and its great, but you cant really mess it up... lol My friend jarrett has the isis shifter and he enjoys it as do i. I trust Isis very

Thanks for all the feedback. Its a lot of help. I always get a little nervous when buying sutff online that i dont know much about. I rather go to a physical store where i can actually have eyes on and touch a product. Get a very good look at something before I buy it you know. Ive had good luck buying from Enjuku so far. But ive only bought small items. I love their service thoa, very quick and helpful. Good prices too. But now im looking to buy their Circuit Sport slotted and drilled rotors and *ISIS suspension package. But wasn't too sure about them. Those two things play a pretty big role in keeping control of your car in your hands. I was looking into the *ISIS coilovers too, but I believe you guys when you say cheap coilovers arent worth it in the long run.

you should be fine with both the rotors and the suspension arms. Plenty of people run the even cheaper ebay s/d rotors and dont have problems, so Im positive the circuit sports rotors will be great

Of you're ordering from Enjukuracing, have no fear. Ken is a legit dude and they're a NICO sponsor. No shadiness or scammage there.

I have the Isis coils and full suspension arm set. I have had them on the car for 6 months and have not had one problem with them. I have s*** roads in my part of PA and the coils handle them very well. I would recommend the coils to anyone.

Since people are talking a lot about ISIS, is anyone using their V2 manifold? I am planning on using it for a t28 setup on a KA and want to get some feedback on it.

This is the first time that i've seen an isis thread and only people who have actually "used" their parts commented. With that said, I have their oil pan and tension rods, no problems with either. Everything looks good.

I recently just bought a Circut Sports high flow side feed fuel rail. I was top feed but kept having problems with finding the right injector, that fit the rail, and that was high impedence.

So i bought one of their high flow side feed rails and it fit great. Made out of billet aluminium and cam with the -6 AN fitting i needed to make ot a bolt on affair. So far so good and i was impressed with the quality. Nice annodized gold finsish and the injectors fit perfect and did excatly whats it's supposed to.

I have ISIS RUCAs and Rear toe arms and they have held up fine. Anything from enjuku is good stuff and if its not to your liking they will personally deal with it and make you happy. i have dealt with them alot.

Never know till you try!!
i know there are some really good parts out there ex. SPL, but buying those will break the bank- but well worth it.
i know its outta topic, but im trying circuit sport arms.
like Krash said Ken from enjuku is a good guy, always tries to help the customer out.
good luck in choosing!

the isis top mount manifold put the turbine housing right next to the BMC like it actually hits. but it probably doesnt help i have a 1.06 housing. a smaller one might fit better. and i need t olilt the engine over to the left

A good friend of mine bought Isis coils and they ride quite nice for the price. They rode way better than another friend's megan's and another's godspeeds. For the money they seem quite good. The only flaw was the powdercoating.. It chipped super easy... They don't go too low either..

I was wondering about the bottom mount, ISIS v2 manifold. I want to know the quality, experience with it and if it puts the turbo in the stock sr location.

I've had the isis dual straight pipe on my car for about 5 months now. It fit really good and has nice welds.. I think its safe to say they make a good product considering everyone else's review corresponds with the same positive feedback.
