Fortune Auto Coilovers track reviews?

I'm really interested to know if anyone tracks on their fortune auto coilovers. If so please post what model and spring rates used.

Thanks in advance.

I just installed my 500 series (spring rate 8/10) a couple weeks ago, so far so good no complaints at all, I am still working on dialing them in. Track time will come once the weather really starts to warm up here in the North East.

Hard to answer the question... lots of talk of spring rate on the track with no info on tires that were used with said spring rate.

Normal street tires with high spring rates is never fun as you will skip around and bounce which means less traction = bad

The FA 510 feels great on my car with 12k/14k springs running on A6 for TT. they also feel good on street tires NT05 when i run DE. I've had ohlins R/T and AST 4100 on my car prior. those were off the shelf and softer springs 10k/12k, so it's not a direct comparison. the car feels stable and planted and i'm happy with the 510. i also drive the car on street to and from track, most tracks are 3 hours from me, and the they don't feel too harsh on the street. i sent the 510 to FA a couple weeks ago to upgrade to 2 ways adjust and just got them back this week. i hope to get them on for the event this weekend.
