I'm not an engineer, but after looking at the Fortunate Auto stuff I am pretty impressed... They've got it together over there. Their designs are really nice and their dampers are properly valved. I can't speak to their reliability because I have never used them and they certainly haven't been around as long as Bilstein or Penskee, but they have some legitimate suspension setups it seems. Not sure if the shock bodies are stainless or coated to resist corrosion or rust though? That's massively important for long term use. I once had a shitty coilover that was so corroded I couldn't get the locking collars to budge with a 3 foot extension off the collar. They essentially were garbage afterwards. Just don't go overkill on the spring rates. Unless you're REALLY trying to shave milliseconds, which most of us aren't, don't compromise your ride by going with aggressive rates. Over time that just makes stuff like your dashboard rattle and you're car will sound like a 17th century naval ship.
