excellent write-up!

 

op, any updates on these? How do you like them so far? How do they compare to the bilstein in terms of comfort and performance?

 

The ride quality is comparable to the mr bilsteins, save for reduced body roll (mostly in
Corners) which is a big improvement! I have no complaints about these at all. I never drove an Evo with upgraded springs + bilsteins, but compared to the other coilover brands I've driven on other cars these are great especially for the price.

 

sounds good, for me its a toss up between these or bilstein mr/swift. my stock kyb seen better days. from all the reviews i see, everyone seems to like them.

 

Swift springs are legit, and remember you can get swift springs on fortune coilovers. I just dread using spring compressors (dangerous/ pain in the ***) so Ill never go back to swapping springs

 

i need some coils

 

These look great

 

Nice DIY!

 

First, I just want to say thank you to the OP for this thread.

I used this thread as reference for installing my Fortune Auto 500 series coilovers.

I just wanted to add a few pieces of information to the thread.

It appears that FA has changed the design of the rear coilover lower mount. In the original post, the lower mount is quite a bit bigger than what I have. I'm not sure if this is because I opted to go with the Swift Spring upgrade or not, but the difference in lower mounts changes the ride height drastically if you follow the measurements given by the OP.

The measurement I used was 3.5" in the rear. It seems to give the best clearance for my wheel/tire combination. I may end up dropping it a half inch lower when I roll my rear fenders.

Just wanted to give people a quick heads up if you're using this as a reference.

Thanks again to the OP.
