I'd say keep OEM.

OEM oil pans are the strongest because they're stamped steel. Anything cast is gonna be weak when you smash it off the ground.

I have it on my ka24ert and i love it. side by side it looks nearly identical except the isis one has a slight bowl for the oil to gather underneath the oil pick up tube.

Never tried the oil pan, but I do have an isis short shifter and an isis high pressure steering hose. They make some quality stuff

I have the isis oil pan on my sr20.
The bad:
Pan comes with (10?) allen head bolts. I think I only used 8 of them because the other 2 were too long and bottomed out before tightening it down.
The pan has a nub on the inside of it that hits the oil girdle. I guess you could grind the pan away, but at the time it was just easier for me to cut the girdle until the nub cleared it.
The plugs they give you arn't tapered and don't have a head on them so you will need to get a new drain bolt. I used a NPT fitting that worked well.

The good:
The pan fits great, does not hit swaybar or anything else in the area.
Does not hang lower then the sway bar ( I have excessive solid engine mounts I don't know know if they are different then stocks)
Cheap alternative to a nice pan

I wouldn't skimp on something like that, i mean the moroso is a great pan and is around $300 or less if i recall. Plus its not cast.
