Default BC vs ISC Coils
Hey so I am on the fence on which brand to purchase. I am leaning towards BC because I have found more info on them. The ISC spring rates are a little stiffer which I'm not sure I want. I can't find much reviews on the ISC's on Mazdas, but they are pretty popular in the Subaru market. What's your opinions? Thanks

I have the Bc extreme lows from street unit and they are awesome, install was easy and perfect fit. I have my dampening set to 30 all around and it rides great, highly recommend them. Also the drop is really good.

6 one way, half a dozen the other...

Both are "cookie-cutter" budget setups that are aimed at the casual enthusiast.

Nice sounds just like what I'm looking for. Any recommendations on rear camber arms?

That's all I'm in the market for, a budget set up for street use. If I was doing autox or something else I'd be going for higher quality.

I would consider these equal, that being said based on your location I would go ISC. Their distributor is in NH and I know they treated @Lakespeed6; very well. When dealing with very similar setups personal experiences and customer service wins.

Disclaimer, BC's customer service might be great but I don't know a first hand story like I do with ISC. Sooooo YMMV!
