Coilover sugesstions?

I've read through a ton of threads, everyone has varying opinions. I'll try and be straightforward with what I'm looking for:

-I don't rally
-I drive spirited on twisty local roads
-Will definitely be doing 1/4 mile
-Current setup is stock struts with Swift springs
-Not concerned with how low a setup would get me, prefer results in DD and cornering with some straightline track use
-struts are the original ones, haven't been changed out ever to my knowledge, have 89k on them
-budget would be under 2k
-I don't care about noise. My exhaust is loud as **** anyways and this is my weekend car

I personally run fortune autos and all of my buddies do as well and they're awesome for drag/auto X. For you though I would suggest you look at AWD Motorsports D2 drag coilovers for fortune auto 500s. I had Bilstein struts and swift springs before I switched, just wanted to get lower and more aggressive at the same time than the swifts with stock struts

Yeah everyone seems to suggest the FA's. They do look nice and price isn't too bad. I've looked at the D2 drag coilover set too. I think both brands will be pretty good. Prob go with the FA's for a good overall balance based on reading past threads on them.

Would definitely take FA's over Megans.

I put my FA's on this past weekend, quality coilover for the price. It's also very easy to get a hold of them with any questions or concerns you might have. Highly recommend Fortune Auto for your price range.
