Hey guys/girls.
Have anyone used this coilover before and can write a review on, I'm leaning to get this setup for next season.
It's dsg special edition for 370z, I can't seen to find any review on it beside Hotrodz.
Thank in advance.
Cheers

Great coilovers for the price. I had a set of 500s on both my previous GS430 and S14A 200sx (UK-spec S14 Silvia Kouki) and their customer service is top notch beyond the great quality of coilovers they produce. I would've purchased a set for the Z but they did not offer a cup kit at the time so I ended up going with Stance setup.

LMAO, and you don't believe me! Just had mine rebuilt this spring to 510 spec in true type. I love the set up even more. Will the track with them for the first time next month.

How did you get them to upgrade it to 510?
FA keep telling me dsg edition is their highest upgrade.
Were there any noticeable improvement from the 500s?
What was the price on the upgrade?
Thx

The dsg is their highest upgrade. I did not want to go to a two or thee way custom upgrade yet. That being said maybe I need to call them and see it I got charge for something I did not receive.

It is hard to tell what the difference is because I change to true type as well. I lowered the car more and the spring rates is different (14k front and 12k rear).

I’m running them in 500 spec. I went from stock to nismo springs to Fortune 500. They’re way more compliant than the nismo setup, but when they are cranked up they are also more responsive. I had them rebuilt about a year ago and I’ll probably have them rebuilt until I can’t have them rebuilt any longer. Definitely recommended.

Confused as well. I called and was told they weren't available. I guess I will call them again and insist they take my money. Does anyone have any direct contacts at Fortune?

12k rear true type? That’s gotta be really firm isn’t it?
