ICON Piston VS King Piston:
KING Piston: Linear design with tuneable free bleed holes, can be made either linear or progressive depending on the shim stack configuration and free bleed hole screws.
ICON Piston: Digressive piston, designed with a lifted outeredge to give preload to the shim stacks, preloading the shim stacks is how the digressive damping is acheived, adding more preload means a more digressive curve and visce versa. A digressive curve means more force/damping is generated during low shaft velocitys and less force is generated in high shaft velocities.

ICON Shim Stack VS KING Shim Stack:
ICON Shim stack: Starts with a smaller diamter then goes larger and smaller depending on the tune, much more complicated still did not get the hang of it. Dont understand how it works 100% yet.
KING Shim Stack: Pyrimim Stack which starts with a large diamter shim then goes smaller which creates progresive damping, most come with a flutter stack on compression to make it more progressive (flutter stack makes the first shim bend more which extends the softs zone, basicly makes the shock damping curve softer in the beginning)
