Shock Therapy IQS?

[THE WIDGE]

considering on tuning my shocks soon in my X3, non smart shocks. Has anyone installed the IQS system with a revalue and springs from ST? Worth it? i want to revalve and new springs for sure, other than ST, who else is highly recommended ? anyone in Havasu recommended, DC Shock? Thx

DC is great. They are in San Dimas and Havasu.

MTS out of az is highly recommended by several people. Re-valving and new springs is worth the money. Most that have used shock therapy are also very happy. I wanted to go to shock therapy but when I called they wanted me to have my weight load down to a science and I did not like that. In a 4 seater the weight could always change by say 200-300 lbs. I have walker evans on my velocity so I took them to walker evans. Looking back on it I wish I had took it to a shop, I have spent a hell of a lot of time adjusting ride height and cross overs.

Cant help with ST but I can tell you just swapping to 8 Eibach springs made a big difference in our x3. Our canam shocks are going to Wayne at Alltech next week. He's in Murietta and Johnson Valley. The biggest thing that I want isn't very expensive it is adding a schrader valve to check/fill nitrogen on the reservoirs. It doesn't even require shock disassembly but Im having him make some valving changes too.

ST did my X3 and the only thing I did not do was IQS. If I had to do it again I would add IQS. It would be nice to be able to soften the suspension with a flick of a switch.

Kurt at DC was awesome

Do you know the installed price for the IQS? It just says on their site $2075 for the kit and "There is additional labor to install the IQS***"
*The iQS system can only be purchased & installed through Shock Therapy*
It would seem because the kit has an ecu and harness they are installing it in the car and taking shocks off/on?

Yes they are putting motors on the compression adjusters to control the shock. It only does bump, and it is not a reactive system.

Im pretty sure rebound is still a manual adjustment.

It seems like a lot of cash and complexity added instead of just hopping out of the car and twisting the knobs.

As someone who has something similar. (Dynamics gen 1) I am constantly adjusting the swtich for the ultimate ride. It helps knowing the trail

Washboard gets full soft
Lots of g outs goes into medium or even firm
High speed graded roads are firm

So there is that benefit.

Gen 2 dynamics is even better as it does rebound too

IQs is good. You truely do get a lot of of adjustment from the system.

Thanks, I know they discount some labor when you bundle it all. I’m going to inquire, just not sure if I want to make the road trip if it’s not substantially worth that option compared to springs and revalue in havasu. I just hate the washboard chatter and a flip of a switch would be nice either way. Did springs and revalve help with chatter compare to stock springs and valving

Yes the balancing and springs make a world of difference in the chatter.
