SAWS 2.0 or Toytec

And all coilover companies use the same spring manufacture, Eibach. AND are a 650# spring rate, with some haveing options of 700# (stock on the first gens is around 450# while the second gens are 550#). The biggest difference is the valving they use. Some have a progressive rate, Sway-A-Way, Fox, King. While others are a Digressive rate, Bilstien, Donahoe(Icon). Most all of them use the same shock body design, and a 7/8" piston shaft. Only the Bilstiens have a floating piston inside along with the dampening piston, which prevents oil cavitation under hard use. The strength of the bottom part of the shock mount usually isnt an issue, though there have been cases in which they can break. Though some may look more "beefy" than others, keep in mind most coilovers are cast aluminum, or machined from billet, and the Bilstiens are steel. Tensile strength is usually about the same. Depending on the aplication, you can have extended length versions and combined with a good UCA, it will give more travel.

 

and for the record the new owner of Donahoe...or Icon...is NOT a pedophile...

thats a big reason the name changed

 

True. BUT, the new owner has screwed over his local supplyers to the point that I dont have much respect for their business ethics. FWIW, Leepers made the shock bodies for Icon. All Icon did was assemble a coilover with their name on it.
