hey, guys,
I have a set of re-valved bilsteins( track valving for swift spec r ) sitting in my garage for a couple months now.
I finally decided to put them on this weekend.

I have always kept asking myself a question in the past few months.
should I skip bilsteins and go for FA 500?

I know FA 500 is one of those cheap coil-overs, but FA seems to offer so much for the money.
You can get a coils with custom valving, springs, rebuildable in USA with a fast turn around time.

I think one of the reason that they are cheap is probably because they are a company located in USA, which probably doesn't mean their products are crap.

I have been reading threads about FA coilovers and revalved bilsteins. Not a lot of them really speak much about track performance.

My evo is my DD and 2-4 events/year but I really don't care about ride quality since 95% of the time, I am riding the car alone. I really just want to get things done right the first time without upgrading an upgrade later on.

So what do you guys think?

+1 I'm giving the Fortunes a try. Haven't read one real world complaint, and seem to be a real value versus the Teins and BCs types. If anything you'd be able to sell or trade for a set a Bilsteins. Also I don't think Bilstein are offer the revalving service anymore.

Ugh, if only I could have gotten my hands on some revalved bilsteins before I sold my GSR
