ISC N1 COILOVERS // BMW E90 Installation
Today on JD Cars we will be installing a set of ISC N1 Coilovers on the BMW 328i. This installation was initially overwhelming and it was very time consuming, but with patience anyone can do this job at home! I did not run into any major issues and everything fit as it should. Thank you to Bavarian Autosport and ISC Suspension for making this project possible!

Mine are shipping out today. Lowkey wanted to hold off on pulling the trigger but had my car up on the lift checking something else and seen the passenger strut was blown. Figured nows the best time nearing 91k on the clock. Got sleeves and rear extensions for the dampening adjustment. Hopefully with extra love and care NYC doesn’t destroy them.

Great DIYs man! Thanks for sharing. I think it would majorly improve the quality of them by adding torque specs in during for each bolt and section, or text on screen. Not hard to look them up, but make for a much smoother install with your videos when the viewer doesn't have to leave the video with dirty hands to search for accurate torque specs. Keep it up!

@@BVonBuescher no offense but I checked out your channel and you shouldn’t even be on KZread, with your toxic comments and your singular video speaking on mental health. Do you have any qualifications for that? There’s another field that I’m also versed in. I made a couple videos for fun, I’m not a BMW KZreadr, and yes I made a silly 10 minute VLOG style video about a license plate cover :p Who cares lol. What’s you’re point? My comment here was to help beginners have an even deeper understanding and get even more out an already great video. Which is what the creator asked for. Constructive comments. Not you jumping from his channel and then to mine and whoever else’s, leaving not one but two lame, toxic and unproductive comments. Also, I’ve built multiple race cars, including several 600+whp BMWs. I feel sad for you if these kinds of comments are what makes you feel good about yourself. You are preaching mental health on your page but go around being toxic and destructive to others, who could have potential mental health issues on KZread. Have a good one dude. Someone should pray for you or you should look into going to therapy on how to be respectful. Sorry about your feelers🙏🏾

Quick question. How do you know what what to set the spring and also the shock setting height to be at? Since they're both adjustable. Does one greatly affect the other? Do they have to match in terms of height? If I lower the shock lock ring to lower the car, what's the general idea of lowering the spring lock ring?
Great job 👍
@JDCarsChannel

Thanks man!
you could also just lower the seat backs and peel the trunk liner a little bit to access the shock towers.
Please do a review of these coilovers if you ever get a chance. I'm trying to decide between these and a few other brands. Also, which spec are these? I know they offer 3 types. I believe they are Street Comfort, Street Sport, and Track & Race. Thank you so much!
great video, just a little note. You don't actually have to remove the whole cowling, just loosen the e14 nut of the engine strut bar, which would give you a little room to lift it enough to remove the bolt underneath (you will however will need to use a size 13 mm open box wrench to remove that one bolt).

I just did my front BC BR Coilovers today because I thought it would be the easiest to tackle first. And you’re saying the front is the hardest? Wooo whooo. Rears should be easy then. Just waiting on my new absorber things for the rears before starting them. I’m doing my rotors next week as well so I’ll do the anti-seize then. Forgot about that...

U Rock man!!! Which u was my neighbor

Thx you I couldn’t do this with out you
Do you have Information on that control bar you reinstalled on the top of the strut? I am thinking I’m going to need to purchase a longer bolt and some washers to achieve some clearance to that as mine is hitting it currently and that can’t happen. Your video also shows more information than any video ECS provided and I wanted to thank you for that because they’re pretty close in product to what you used here. So F them as their video didn’t explain Jack! So I appreciate you’re clean frustration free video that went above and beyond theirs. Please let me know about that control bar you installed if you believe that’s what is needed for it to clear that adjuster on the top of the strut. Thanks in advance!!!

Stupid question guys and I’m dumb late I know but ; you don’t need the oem strut mounts anymore after most aftermarket coilovers right?
does rwd and awd matters when it come to the coilovers because i have a 328xi and i only see rwd coilers evern in your link it says it doesnt fit 328xi
Did you have any sort of gap (about an inch or so) leftover where the housing slides into the knuckle, or does it sit flush? I just installed mine and I'm being told its normal directly from ISC

@ 6:51 I got the bolt loose no problem and the nut off no problems at all but holy crap did I have a tiny marginal area to get that bolt out of there, and back in. I know you skipped your extraction but I saw some videos were they took it out by hand! Mine required vice grips on the bolt side and a pry bar on the nut side to force it out because even with no tension, from using the jack underneath, that bolt was in there so good. And one more thing for others if you see this... @ 11:58 BE CAREFUL WITH THAT NUT. My hand jerked a little and I dropped that nut down that hole... which isn't a bowl type area which I've seen on other cars. That hole goes down near the battery on the passenger side or the silver amp (if you have HiFi) on the driver side and it's just an empty cavity. Kinda resembles a motorcycle gas tank in a way. I had to go to Ace and get a suitable nut, but on my BC BR Racing Coilovers for 2006-2011 AWD models those nuts are M12x1.25 with nylon locker on them (might be the same for all models of the BC Coilovers) which ACE does not carry on hand. That sucked so bad.
