GENERAL SHOCK TECH FAQ
I’m rebuilding my 2.0 shocks how do I know what nitrogen pet pressure to fill it to?
The ICON 2.0” Series shocks are charged to a variation of nitrogen pressures based on the type of shock. Internal floating piston shock absorbers are typically charge to 180 psi. Remote reservoir 2.0 shocks are typically charge to 150 psi. There are
Will setting my coil overs to maximum thread showing change my ride quality?
Yes, when a vehicle is set close to its maximum extended length the ride quality will suffer. A vehicle will require some down travel in order to travel over road obstruction or uneven terrain. ICON recommends a minimum of 1.5 inches of downed travel
Can Icon shocks be purchased separately outside of kits?
Yes, all Icon coil overs and shock absorbers can be purchased a'la cart outside of a kit. Feel free to contact ICON Sales staff for details regarding the details and part numbers for individual shock and coilover kits.
Is there a factory preset for CDCV shocks for daily driving?
No, all CDCV shocks have adjustable compression settings from 1 to 10. The factory preset out of the box will all be set to ‘S’ for soft. Ride quality is more based on a personal preference and the combination of components. It’s common practice for
Can remote reservoir coil overs and shocks be upgraded to CDCV?
Yes, most applications can be upgraded from a remote reservoir to CDCV. The upgrade will require the appropriate CDC Valve and compression valving adjustment. Some application requires a more extensive list of parts to convert to CDCV so for a more i
Can CDCV shocks be upgraded to OMEGA bypass?
Yes and no, the converting of a CDCV shock to OMEGA Bypass is not a cost-effective method to upgrade. The upgrade is possible but cylinders, manifolds and bulk of the shock will need to be replaced thus not recommended.
What does CDCV stand for?
CDCV is short for Compression Damping Control Valve. CDCV technologies allows for 10 different compression damping levels that can easily be adjusted via a knob located on the reservoir.
