Fortune auto 500 series coilovers

SgtGoldy · 03-10-2013, 08:54 PM

So how do they feel now that you've been on them for a few days?

If your happy with them I might be grabbing a set next month

sfearl1 · 03-11-2013, 07:34 PM

I've only driven on them three or four times since the install

my car failed the emission inspection and my tags are expired right now. It's just been hard finding the time to get the car dialed in and to pass emissions. I wish I could give you a better review.. fwiw though, the car feels way more solid and responsive from the light driving I've done. I hope to have a real review after this weekend.

I am looking at some M7 coilovers +cup kit or these coilovers +cup kit.

i stil havent figured out the conversion kit for the m7... im wondering why do only the us brands do true coilovers and all the jdm brands do the oem type version... ive looked at all the coilovers from japan and they are all the oem type versions

simota1 · 10-08-2013, 05:30 PM

gale do you have a link? to the m7?

FYI...I have the 500 series on one of my track 240's. Given it isn't a 370z, I still love the handling. Car feels amazing for daily, or on the track. Just my two cents. Plan on running these soon when I get my 370 Nismo.

I tried for a few weeks to get more info from FA on these coilovers via email and facebook, they would never return any of my correspondence.

Ended up going a different direction due to that.

Funny. I bought mine in February this year. Responded within an hour. Fast customer service. Purchased through import image if I recall correctly.

I haven't bought them yet, but they were very responsive and helpful when I inquired about a set last winter. They even said they'd make me a set of "true coilovers" after they have changed the design to our OEM style.

Fortune auto 500's are actually quite decent coilovers for the price. They offer big piston sizes as well as a digressive piston!

A lot of our performance customers are liking them as they are quite comfortable on the street yet ramps up nicely for the track.

Thanks,
Mike
