    yeah those icons are looking better and better. they make a uca but I think I should go with camburg or total chaos. I don't get off road much at all so I guess you can call this a mall queen lift. I am hoping to change that once I get a chance to meet a few of you at the next SD meet. I also like that fabtech performance 6 inch lift but Its going to be a while till I can afford new rims and tires so rather than look like a tard with a 6 inch lift and stock rims and tires I am going to go the 3 inch route.

    I would love to hear someone who has the new toyotec coilovers chime in.

    I know I saw someone with the icon setup on the forum hopefully they see this and give their experience.

    Edit: no offense to any one with a 6 inch lift and stock wheels.

    I just installed my Icon C/Os with TC UCAs last week. Good looking setup and pretty much keeps the factory ride. I would definately recommend them.

    Nothing for the rear yet but the front does not look higher than the rear at all. Im gonna get a rear block for it tho. Its only a 2.5" Coilover lift which should be plenty to fit my 285s I hope.
