Ken from Enjuku…
First about the ISIS coilovers:
No, they are not Godspeed, or any other coilover. The manufacturing plant that some parts are produced may be the same, however the overall design is different. Not all the parts are built in the same place.
ISIS asked us to sell their coilovers, but for along time we did not want to. For this exact reason, people would look bad at Enjuku for selling a lesser expensive product. Guess what, we sell what the customers ask for…However, like every other product of theirs i said we would test and then decide.
We got a set, tested them on some demo cars and our own and for the money thought they were good. However we wanted to have them change a few things on them. One being how low the front goes. If you look at the entire shock body and spring on the Front of the ISIS coilovers you will notice they are DIFFERENT than the other brands out there. The valving is also different.
My thoughts on coilovers:
There are most likley over 1000 “brands” of coilovers. Do you think there are 1000 different manufacturing plants? No, but I bet that 800 of those brands have some difference. 90% of the time you are paying for a name or the slight difference in any product, car related or otherwise.
ISIS Arms:
These are 100% NOT ANYONE ELSES!! ISIS sent us a few sets to test, we didnt like them at all. So we completely redesigned them ourselves. Out of all the ISIS products we had our hand in these more than anything else. If you look at the sweep on the RUCA, The thickness on all the tubing, and the rod ends… they are NO ONE ELSES!! I personally did most of these. So you can all stop that argument. Whether someone has already coppied the ISIS arms, that i dont have much control over.
I have already seen companies copy ISIS products… It happens quick, one reason we try to keep them ahead of the game.
Why does Enjuku sell ISIS? - Because the market demands it. that is how business works. For years i fought that as a business owner. I only wanted to sell high end big name parts, and for 8 years i did. However, the MAJORITY of the 240sx community wants an inexpensive, Quality Part, sold by a reputible company - HENCE - Enjuku Racing sells ISIS.
Who is ISIS? ISIS is an over seas company/manufactuer that has been asking us to sell their stuff for years, which we resisted until a little over a year ago. We are helping them with product development and branding here in the US. There have been about 30 ISIS products that we have tested that we have either had them change or said we would not sell, because it was not up to our standards for the money.
Who else sells ISIS? ISIS is sold through about 25 different shops at this time. Enjuku is not the only seller of ISIS. Why are they selling it also? Because the market demands it.
I dont know why people get their panties so up in a bunch over this stuff.
If you want an inexpensive part that has been tested, proven, and is stood behind by one of the longest standing Nissan shops in the country… then buy ISIS.
… Hope this helps clear some things up Bing.
