Hmm... tempting. I already have the rear Donahoe springs and shocks. Might as well all go Donahoe.

Donahoe was bought out by Icon. They are the exact same part, just a new company name.

 

It is a good deal. If I was buying these I would send them down to Icon to have them rebuilt before installing. I think it is $75 per coil over, if I remember correctly.

Aren't the current Icon coilovers 0-3.5"?

Yes, so were the Donahoe Racing coil overs.

 

Donahoe Racing is proud to announce that its FJ Front Coil-Overs are available for FJ owners at Donahoe Racing retailers. Donahoe Racing released the Toyota FJ Front Coil Over Kit in 2007

0"-3.5" Front Coil-Over System - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 2WD & 4WD

 

Icon will rebuild Donahoe coilovers and can upgrade them with all the latest parts including adding resi's.

I just installed my OME kit, but it's a hard deal to pass up. Contacted the guy, will be heading to Fresno to pick up if all goes well.

Good luck ghost, that was a good price.

Again, I would consider getting them rebuilt, depending on the miles on them, before installing them.That way they'll be like new for you. http://www.iconvehicledynamics.com/tech-support/shock-service/

That's great Ghost. I picked up a Donahoe set from FJScout. I called Icon about rebuilding, and they suggested that I run them until the leaked. After that, send them in before the Monday rebuild day. They can upgrade them at that time, long travel, resi, etc. Though I'm not sure about the IVD coating.  
You'll enjoy the improved ride and articulation.
