Coilovers Coilovers! but not street coilovers
Ok the usual KW and BC Tein etc are great
but iv used them on my car and taken it to the track and they are soft
on the road they are great..
So been doing some more research lately to find the perfect coilovers for my race car
but so far i cant find anything that i like
So far iv only found
Ohlins DFV
Zeal Functions
Bilsteins
Is there anything other than those 3 that are available for the ISF as a Full race spec coilover?

Too bad you are on the other side of the world...I would absolutely love to see your ride when it is all finished. That cage looks awesome.
I think you might have some flex issues when everything is said and done.

Aim for a natural frequency of about 2.3 Hz. Stock suspension is way low at about 0.8 Hz.
BTW, your cage looks weak. Where are the front ties to the front subframe?

Awesome that your building a time attack car - looks like a fun project.
I currently have a set of Ohlins DFV and a set of Endless Zeal B6 coilovers (on different cars) and I like the ride quality of the Ohlins better. If I ever buy a set for the IS-F, I'd go for Penskes - they seem like the best choice for our application.

The name brand doesn't mean jack. The tuning put into the setup means everything.
I'd take stock over a lot of the aftermarket simply because they did the necessary testing where the aftermarket didn't. I'd take FiGS solution over most anything else because I know he's run it at the track and addressed the short-comings.

the amount of money lexus puts into testing their stuff (and even then, they still have problems) compared to small indy companies is SUBSTANTIAL
