Saw this on ThenewX and it was asked to be posted over here.

Sounds like a reasonable price? Anywas Total Chaos UCA's and Icon Vehicle Dynamics 2.5's for $1325 shipped. Here is the link:

This is a limited time offer to help you guys out. I barely make enough to cover shipping on these!

I took some pic's on my last outing to show the good amount of up and down travel you can get with just these coilovers and stock control arms.

All 4 tires were still on the ground.

Driver's front compressed.

Passenger front at full drop. See how the upper control arm dose NOT contact the coil-bucket.

Mike, I assume your Icons have the internal droop stop so the UCA can't contact the coil buckect? Also, what amount of lift over stock do you have them set at?

 

[frontyfan]

what a great buy! Mike that's some serious travel. I haven't had enough time to really test out my Radflos, I need to get out and see what they can do.

Yes. They are the standard travel coilovers with 550 coils. I have them set at 3".

Interesting.

Are you eventually going to go with a UCA or stay with your current setup?

Some of us (or maybe just me) think that you should run the aftermarket UCA's with the coilovers to avoid contact, guess not.

I like them and the coating; I need to look at a some coilovers for my Shrockworks bumper when it arrives. What is the heaviest spring rate they offer?

Actually I plan on getting control arms probably at the end of this month. I didn't have the money last year to get UCA's and coilvers all at once. When I do get UCA's I will send my coilovers back to ICON to have the internal droop stop removed. I think they said it was $35. to that.

I just copied my post from anther thread.

No control arm eliminates coil bucket contact, they just reduce it. The advantage to using after-market control arms and extended travel coilover is the additional down travel. About an 1" to 1 1/2 more drop then a coilover set for stock UCA's. So you will have contact but you are adding more performance.
Coil bucket contact with UCA's with coilovers is different then with a spacer lift. With A spacer lift you actually loose some down travel and the contact happens sooner, like then you go over a speed bump.

What kind do you plan on getting? I need to get some… but I still don’t know about what brand of shocks I am going to get.

They have a 650ibs coils for heavy bumpers.

I'll let you know.

Thanks for the info. These are on my list to consider, knowing that they have a heavy enough spring rate.
