Fortune Auto 500
 
ive done research, and seen alot about these, but one question stand, are these bouncy? i dont want a super bouncy ride like i experienced in my friends lancer once with some tiens installed.

They are assembled per your order (500 or 510, spring rate & valving)

Call Terry or the other guys @ FA & discuss your requirements

Heres a thread discussing some details:

Unless you know the spring rates & the valving I was steer clear of that especially if youre concerned about ride quality

I would rather spend a bit more & have FA spec out the 500 suited to your desire{thumbup}

I own a set and I can not agree more with the above statement.

I would at the very least get the Swift spring upgrade. Mine have the Swifts springs and the radial bearings, 8K front and 9K rear. They are not bouncy at all, I love them on the street.

I will say this. I just received mine. They were supposed to take 3 weeks. They took about 6 days tops to get to my door. The fit and finish(500's) is STELLAR! These are beautiful. Install was easy and instructions were solid. Great customer service. I opted for fortune springs with 8kF/10kR. I will post a review once I've had them in the road.

All coilovers incorporate a DIGRESSIVE* Mono-tube 57mm piston, 30 way damping, custom rates & a 1 year warranty

DIGRESSIVE* All Fortune Auto shocks use a superior DIGRESSIVE piston. This technology allows for stiff, progressive (linear) damping at low stroke speeds. This helps to control vehicle body motion like roll, dive and squat. However at fast stroke speeds (i.e. high speed bumps) the suspension is kept supple in response to bumps and irregularities in the road.

Dyno tested***
Mono-tube shock design
IP synthetic 5w or 10w shock oil (prevents cavitation and promotes superior heat dissipation)
Stainless steel body / piston
30-way adjustable dampers
Pillowball mounts
Forged aluminum locking collars
Dust boots on all pistons
Digressive* 50mm piston-57mm piston housing (beyond the industry standard of 44-47mm)
Anodized aluminum camber plates** on front upper-mounts
Fully anodized body >li>1 year Manufacturer's Warranty
Height adjustment independent of preload
ISO 9002 certification

***Every Fortune Auto coilover is extensively dyno tested and matched with in specifications to insure a consistent and uniform set of coilovers. This rigorous testing has earned us our ISO certification.

Furthermore we incorporate features only found on our coilovers such as Seamless stainless steel monotubes, Forged lower mounts & proprietary nitrogen gas chambers

Spring Rates: (kgf/ mm)
Front: 9
Rear: 10
thats some info provided on the listing

Just installed the 500's on my IX MR, 8k/9k with Swift springs and radial bearings. Im very pleased with the ride. So have other evo guys who have ridden in the car. I would recommend them

Viegasjuice Sep 15, 2014 09:44 PM

I would say the 500 series is the best in the price range for a daily or street car.

My FA 500s took over a month to arrive. I have yet to install them though.

anin23 Sep 16, 2014 08:31 AM

i got my 500s about 2 months ago, 8k/8k. The ride is very complaint, i have yet to put any track experience. So far I love them.
