Dave, you should buy them for the trailblazer you're going to get someday.

All right folks, I will be number 10! What is our purchase time frame?

Personally with a 2 week build timeframe I'd like to get these before Christmas as I'll have my hands full after that with baby Alex. We have one member who can't buy till Nov. so it depends if we can come to a consensus on when we want to pay. Johnny said he was flexible but would like to process the orders a lla t once together.

What's the spring rate on these? I'm not sure I chose wisely on the 650 rate on the Icons. Johnny, any small residual value in the parts I have? I know you did your darnedest on the project and personally machined parts, but since Icon didn't fully embrace the project, it was handicapped from the start. Also note No sales tax buying this route through Oregon. Right?

Another motivator is the residual value (I already have one acceptable trail spare strut) of the 89's, year-old shocks, and new Mark kits in my current struts. Some noob would LOVE to have those, I bet.

600 in-lbs, you say.......

They are the same as bartonmd and moots1288, Johnny did state that few had harder springs and did not like the ride. I don't think those users are any one from here but I could be wrong.

They're a great ride. The stiffness of the springs are less noticeable by the right valving in the shocks.

What's this pending approval? Either you're buying it or you're not. Don't be a man on the fence. :poke:

We need positives, not pending approvals, sorry TBYODA, but I really want the deal to go thru and don't want a fall thru at the last moment wrecking the deal for everyone or sending us the lesser discount.

I think his pending approval is domestic resistance. HE wants to buy them, but needs permission to buy them..

Something I've learned from watching this Forum. When Roadie starts asking questions there is a reason. Wheather or not I agree with him does not change the fact that he has experiences that create far more educated questions. In this case, those questions could even lead to a superior product!

Ask away sir Roadie! Ask Away![/quote] well he had the icon coil overs that failed on him, so he is probably skeptical on spending 800$ on cool overs.
