Yes, Öhlins Road & Track coilovers with stock 16kg rear springs, and 7" 8kg Swift in the front.

Stock Öhlins front springs were 8" long and 6kg... but the car was prone to oversteer; with the 8kg springs, it's much more composed and balanced. And since the stack height of Swift springs is so compact, I was able to go down to 7"ers without any concern for coil binding.

That's perfect. Looks like a two finger gap all around?

Very nice. I think I'll be going fortune auto coilover with swift springs 9k ft 12k rear rates. Don't quite have 3k for the Ohlins/swift after my turbo swap and ported head.

Are the fortune auto coilovers any better than the M Performance Suspension?

That’s a good question. I would have to say yes as their fully adjustable and come with camber plates.

Way less they start at 1475 and with spring upgrade to swift are 1875 plus they come with camber plates.
