Re: ICON Coilovers
Bloody 'el! I got my set today as well for the MAXTRAX FJ Cruiser. The first set was stolen off my porch after the UPS guy left.
I will probably post pics here soon as well.

Re: ICON Coilovers
Well my plan was to do this installation with lots of pics, but unfortunately my camera died before I started so i used my iphone which was useless in the dark :x I will get some pics tomorrow of it installed in the day light.
Icon's about 15mm longer than the billies
Old ride height was 820mm FR and 815mm FL with full wheel droop at 860mm.
New ride height is 820mm both sides (after setting the height with the adjuster) and full wheel droop 880mm. The ride has quality has improved as these shocks seem to soak up the bumps even better than the billies (as you'd expect for the $$). The body roll also seems to be less which is good as I don't run any swaybars.... These Icons did come with a swaybar relocation bracket which I will probably put on when i get time.
So far very impressed, I'm keen to get out to the tracks and test them on the dirt![b]2006 GXL Prado 1GR-FE [/b]- ARB Lockers & Bar, Tigerz11 Winch, snorkle, Custom Bash Gaurd & Steps, AJ4x4 Rear Bar, Spotties, UHF, Dual batt, 33" KM2s, Custom drawers, Ext Icon Coilovers, 4" SRC Shockies, Dobinson 4" Springs, Diff drop, Light Racing UCA's, Ext SS brake lines, Driveshaft spacer, Superior trailing arms, Nitro 4.56 diff gears, DBA Slotted brakes, TRD Supercharger, Bullet Ultimate Exhaust, XEDE Dual map ProcessorComment

Re: ICON Coilovers
So how far down did you screw the adjuster to get the 820mm ride height, did you go the full 2 inches?Comment

Re: ICON Coilovers
No i only had to screw them half way down the available thread.. which was just under 2" on the left and about 11/2" on the right. To go any higher i wouldn't screw any further as you'd go below the 60mm droop... if i wanted more height now i'd have to use a strut spacer.Originally posted by Wade76[b]2006 GXL Prado 1GR-FE [/b]- ARB Lockers & Bar, Tigerz11 Winch, snorkle, Custom Bash Gaurd & Steps, AJ4x4 Rear Bar, Spotties, UHF, Dual batt, 33" KM2s, Custom drawers, Ext Icon Coilovers, 4" SRC Shockies, Dobinson 4" Springs, Diff drop, Light Racing UCA's, Ext SS brake lines, Driveshaft spacer, Superior trailing arms, Nitro 4.56 diff gears, DBA Slotted brakes, TRD Supercharger, Bullet Ultimate Exhaust, XEDE Dual map ProcessorComment

Re: ICON Coilovers
I got mine on and they looks so good I figured I had to paint the frame while I was at it. It all looks brand new.
