I just got these installed and unfortunately it has been a bad experience thus far...
The camber plates were WAY off when we installed them. The adjustments are slanted aligned instead of 3 to 9oclock. They are more like 7 to 2 oclock aligned.
This was similar to a set installed on another guys Evo 8 except his set weren't as badly aligned as mine.
Luckily I'm getting a second set and hopefully they will be right this time. If not, I'm taking them back and getting a different set. I figured these things would be someone tuned from the manufacturer... I never expected to see such a design flaw as I did though on my set...
Hopefully ISC corrects this problem...

Aside from this major problem in manufacturing, out of the box, the rear ride height was set WAY too low. My wheels were tucked like crazy. Also, the dampning was way off so when you try to ride them out of the box, the fronts hit insanely hard over any bumps over 35mph+.

Ya same problem I had with the camber plates I talked to isc and they said "that's how they are"...
I adjusted the height before install and dampening as well.
Did you talk to isc and did they said the camber plates were wrong? I was puzzled at the response I got as I have never seen a camber plate like that.

This must be an Evo 8/9 issue in manufacturing... Mine on my Evo X are straight 9 and 3 (though the initial set of camber plates had no markings at all so they send me a new set). I had it aligned after putting about 125 miles on it and the alignment shop had no issues at all. I adjusted my height and dampening prior to installing as well. I have since further adjusted mine but I also have a custom set (custom spring rates and dampening)

I also tried to email them. info@ISCsuspension-na.com and Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently.

I'll let everyone know how it goes. One thing for sure, I won't try to install anything else myself again lol. I'll stick to working on computers :-)

It was just a bad batch of camber plates (5 sets). New plates are on the way for anyone who had issues. Everything should still function perfectly fine, unless you are getting aggressive with the camber until then.
Hopefully a camber plate issue doesn't make you to upset and ruin your experience for these coilovers. Subaru BMW and Nissan owners have taken well to them thus far over the past couple years here in USA, and all other makes/models on Asia and Australia for almost a decade.

To anyone looking to get these coils, make sure you pick up the pillow mounts! They make a hell of a difference!
