Icon Suspension Systems + VX w/KDSS

[BobTheMonkey Member Find all posts View Profile Close BobTheMonkey]

I have been doing some research on suspension systems, I'm interested in adjustable coil overs to correct any "lean" that might develop in the KDSS system that a lot of people seem to have when doing OME lifts and from what i read they use coil spacers to even out the system.

Anyway the system that's on the top of my list is Icon, does anyone know much about this system. anyone run this on there trucks with KDSS? so far it was the only system i could find that was specifically with KDSS.

Icon.

Radflo was another one I just found.

The next question would be what "stage".. stage3 looks the most common on the 4Runner forums.

PS, is there a reason why nothing like this exists here in Australia? legality?

Asked a company that supplies Fox Shocks, got pushed away to a RADFLO supplier.

"Sorry we do not have an OEM kit for your car, most of our Fox shox range is for off road racing.
I would suggest you try extreme motorsport (Brisbane) as I believe that RADFLO do a bolt on shox set for your car, other than that King Shoxs Australia (brad zacker) may also be able to assist you."

For Icon suspension in a Prado 150, I'd be looking in the FJ Cruiser catalogue.

I know someone who has an FJ in the states with Icon suspension and he rates it extremely highly. He is actually trying to get something suitable for his 100 Series over here. Let me know how you go, I'd be interested as well.

From what I have read Icon make a good kit, the main issue is how it will interact with the KDSS.

As long as you have the correct "stagger" on the front struts, which is about 15-20mm higher on the drivers front strut, the KDSS lean should be OK: http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?22025-Fixing-KDSS-lean-after-lift-query&p=319866&viewfull=1#post319866

One advantage of the Icon adjustables is that I believe you won't need to remove them to make the height adjustment on the coilovers as long as you have the Icon adjustment spanner.

Looks like his in WA; I'm still waiting for my VX as its held up by Toyota. Once I get it, it's time to mod.

$3872.00 for a Stage 3....ouch! Are those prices Aussie?

The other option is radflo, snake racing has them so no real avalibility issues I would assume http://www.snakeracing.com.au/radflo...er-shocks.html

Nar they are USD, but what can you compare them to? King spring or OME?

OME is $1600 - $2000 I will collect more prices later and make a list.
