naCAnItihS Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Car: 2001 Subaru Forester L Initial Impression: I ordered the comfort ISC knob in blue and the first thing that caught my eye when I opened the box was def the color. The blue anodize really popped. The weight of the knob is def much heavier than my previous shift knob, but a very similar shape. When initially holding it in my hand, it seemed like it was a bit small compared to my current one. However, when placing them side by side they were the exact same size. Finish: The Finish of the knob is very smooth and the anodized color is nice and bright. I would say its is pretty similar to WRB. My only gripe is the lettering on the top didnt face me 100% when the knob was fully torqued down. But after spacing up the shift boot enough the knob became pretty snug and I was able to get it where I wanted. I also like the fact that the color gave a nice contrast to my purple anodized jet engine seal around the boot. Drivability: Ive noticed it is a bit easier to put the trans through the gears with the extra weight of this knob. I am unsure on weight comparison with the stock knob because I never ran one. The feel is about the same as my old one (due to them being the same size) but I am def a fan of this one more. Overall Impression: Overall I am very pleased with this knob and would def recommend it to others; just like all the ISC products. I cant wait for spring to come so I can grab some ISC Coilovers for the Forester (to match my LGT) and some of their new spacers/adapters (depending on my wheel choice). http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g179/nacanitihs/photo-58.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g179/nacanitihs/photo-57.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g179/nacanitihs/photo-56.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g179/nacanitihs/photo-55.jpg More low needed? hahah http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g179/nacanitihs/photo-53.jpg The LGT is also on ISC Coilovers and very happy with these as well!! http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g179/nacanitihs/photo-25.jpg Basic Info on the knobs: MSRP: $55 USD Where to buy: http://iscsuspension-na.com/store/#!/~/category/id=4426280&offset=0&sort=normal or contact AJW Performance This is from ISC’s blog/website describing the different styles. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/awalla5150/photobucket-1168-1357238053644.jpg The ISC Comfort series knob is our most popular knob.

Ryouske Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Product: ISC Suspension Shift Knob Style Reviewed: Sport Vehicle used for review: 2011 WRX Premium World Rally Blue MSRP: $55 USD Where to buy: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2442574 I choose the Sport series knob because I liked how it looked and I prefer a smaller shift knob since I have smaller hands. Initial Impression: When I opened the box to reveal the knob I was very impressed by the weight and the color. My knob is the anodized red version. To me it’s the perfect color, not obnoxiously bright, and not dark enough to be maroon. Perfect. The weight was very similar to my Kartboy Shift Knob which is around the weight I like. Finish: The ISC knob as I stated above is a very nice anodized red. The color options are pretty endless which is good. They make a gold, and even a purple knob which is great for people who wish to really customize the look of their cars. The finish is nice without any imperfections. The only thing I could suggest to ISC is to have the logo laser engraved into the Aluminum so that it doesn’t rub off which I worry it may after extended use. Drivability: I received my ISC Shift Knob on Tuesday. Since having it I can say that I haven’t had any drivability issues. The knob as I keep saying is the perfect weight, it works very well and provides quick shifts and I am really enjoying it. According to ISC the knob is 145G. Unlike my Kartboy Shift Knob it starts cold but warms up nicely and really just feels comfortable in the hand. My Kartboy did not. Overall Impression: Overall I am a big fan of this shift knob, good weight, great finish, and a really nice way to represent your favorite coilover. I look forward to seeing new products from ISC in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
