[TigerRacing]

Very nice product!!

[viva_brasil]

got a set from Tiger racing... they are awesome. I got new tension arms and tie rods at the same time, and both made a big difference compared to my oems that were worn out. front end feels very tight, steering is crisp and much more response now- not as numb feeling. Brake response is much better too (my oem tension rods/tie rods were dead and my wheel would move all over the place under braking and turning).

get them.

Indeed it can be said for any other arms. Except for bad arms? Haha. We're not selling hype. We're selling quality parts for a good price. But if you'd rather buy Battle Version, Peak Performance, Megan, Circuit Sports, we can get all those too ;). Its up to you, we're just trying to help, but thank you for your input.

yeah.

they are good. i like them

they are nice quality. the only thing that isnt that good is the powder coat. it chiped off one of my toe rods already. but thats not that big of a deal. just something that i noticed.

other than that i recommended them.

[Casey]

battle version and megan racing should never be in the same sentence without a > between the two. :)

Can you name the differences between the two?

[down_shift]

only time will tell how these arms stack up.

I agree. I understand how the new product line stuff works out. I remember when Megan came out. I know people who are still on their introductory set of Megan coilovers from years ago.

Not everyone is going to jump on them right off the bat. But, cost they're effective, the quality is there and they work, so why not? Not to mention we stand behind them 100%, if you ever have a problem with an ISIS part, shoot me an email, PM, phone call and we'll get it resolved. We're not here to sell junk and leave you high and dry ;). I'll leave that upto ebay.com.

But I do appreciate all the comments from everyone, the questions and all that jazz. You can't compare these arms to BV and Peak solely on the cost. Whats a rucas job? Whats a tension rods job? Whats a traction links job? Whats a toe links job? If they get the job done just fine, and fit great and look great, and cost a lot less, then why not?

Personally if I could dump 900 bucks on a suspension arm package, I would. But im not ballin like that, if this item will do the same job as the competitors for a fraction of the cost im on it. Not to mention Peak has been on back order for about 6 months on most of their arms, and BV has been on back order for a little while on a few of the arm parts as well.

In no way shape or form am I saying don't buy Peak and BV, im just saying don't hate on the 'little guys'. Not everyone can afford the big boy toys. But as you said, time will tell :D.

well, big difference comes down to the heim joints.
cheaper stuff has cheap heim joints.
i wish i could say the opposite for expensive arms, but i haven't had any experience with them, so i dont know.

arm is an arm.. only thing that matters the most is the heim.

That is the only big difference when it comes down to it. Isis arms use self lubricating heim joint/1 piece rod-end just like BV and such. I don't think a heim joint determines the price of their arms though, the styling and design does, if im not mistaken.

Well said.

[vqdreaming]

idk heim joints can get pretty expensive. Not that much stying and design goes into making an susp. arm its pretty simple.

Powder coating, fairly thicker arms, and the design does play a factor in it. I don't think you're paying 150 dollars more just for a heim joint.

[vqdreaming]

oh well i know the heim joint isnt the most exp were talking 15 bux for a really really high quality one at the most. Id go with powder coating being pretty exp but then again if your producing a lot im sure your getting a killer deal on the powder

and hype.

like powered by max, on zivlia.

they are much more than that. i paid $37 for 2 self lubricating joints for my RUCA's, and that is VERY cheap.

they can almost reach $40+ for just one joint.

[Enjuku Racing]

Hype does amazing things. Although PBM stuff is pretty cool. But again, on a personal level, id rather pay less for something that'll work, and drive more :D

sorry if I came off like I was bashing the line. my point was that with initial quality and install these should be spot on with every other arm on the market and that the overall quality will only become apparent over time. its just funny how everyone is asking how do they "feel". They feel like any other metal arm.

I can respect that :). Im all ears for feedback, and as I said, we stand behind them, so if there are any future problems, we'll get it all worked out.

[driftmagic1]

when it comes down to it at the end of the day if the part holds up, why does it matter what manufacturer made it?
