    Planning on saving for custom valved kings but the high speed 2 foot drop would of made any oem replacement shock leak.
    ive had Kings off the shelf wasn’t impressed with ride. Traded for icons and mind blown.:violent:

    I will say kings def have a better build quality.

    I heard that Kings and icon springs are rebranded Eibach. No idea if it’s true or not.

    So really the only diff is the shock and marketing wank?

    Color is a big part of it too.

    But the shock is more important to how the suspension performs than the coil, no point in reinventing the wheel when Eibach already makes a product that perfectly suits their needs.

    The shock is the bread and butter. Coils are just a wrapped steel rod.
