Fortune Auto coilovers

Anyone running them? Seem like a nice made in the USA coil over system? Was thinking of trying them with 8k front springs and 16k rears?

I ran them on my old track car (e36 m3) I loved them and would totally get them again, I highly suggest getting the swift spring upgrade.

Wonder why their own spring wouldn’t suffice? I do know swift springs are super nice. I almost went with the swift spec-r with koni sports.

Might as well run spec-r’s and koni for that matter? I was thinking the optional canisters would be nice!

I'm going to run swift Springs later on this year with my stock struts. I liked them so much more than my eibach springs on my ground controls

Swift spec-r’s are the best spring. I’ll probably run them with some koni sports probably is more proven than the fortune auto coilovers.

I'm gonna talk to them today. Think I'll copy Ohlins with the spring rates. They offer the 500 series and an msc-1. The upper end one is 500 more.

Fortune auto is a great coilover. They are very popular and proven in the JDM world.

Ordered a set on Black Friday sale for 1285 with recommended front spring rate of 9k and went a little stiffer in the rear with 14k rear swift springs. Will be installing them in the spring with Megan Racing camber and toe bars. Should be a fun setup for street/track.
