Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers with Air Piston Lift System - Evo X

Anybody have any experience with this coilover unit or know somebody that does? I'm interested to hear some feedback on it as it looks like a pretty cool suspension component.

I haven't heard of anyone using them before, are they new? It looks like you can get the optional remote damper system too which is pretty cool. If I wasn't a poor peasant I'd be happy to try them out and report back lol

Yea, its a new release to my knowledge and I thought the same thing. I was wondering how this coilover stacked up against others such as Ohlins and KW.

I have a set of FA 500 coilovers on my wife's Ralliart. Nice adjustability, dyno'd in-house by FA with Swift Spring upgrades and corresponding valving for "light track use". Made for a good street coil with a nice, neutral balance on the two HPDE events I ran with it before buying my Evo. Lasted 45,000mi before the fronts needed a rebuild. Now they're in a box.....

I don't think they're as good as the Ohlins I've had limited time driving in a buddy's car but certainly up there with the KW Variant 2 stuff I've owned on VW applications. (Dear God, why do I have to buy coilovers for every car I own??)

The air piston lift is pretty cool. Saw it at H2O a couple years back.
