Feal 441 (standard spring) vs Fortune Auto 500 (standard spring)
First, yes I searched.
So I’d like to hear real world experience from people who track these cars a lot, using one of these COs. I’m gonna buy one of the stated coil overs, so please don’t suggest others COs or the Swift upgrade (budget).
So if you have real track experience with either of those sets of coils, I’d love to hear your reviews, likes, dislikes and comparisons.
Some info on my car. Evo 8, 420whp on a red, 17x9 track wheels. 3-6 track days a year. Evo is my weekend/track car n not my daily. Local track is Thunderhill.
Thanks in advance.

From looking at pictures and how they each describe their parts, I would venture to say they're the same dampers. So, pick the one that is closer to you so shipping is cheaper and quicker for future rebuilds/revalves.
Otherwise, Ohlins.

Btw, I’m jay from boosted tuning, so I’m not a noob or anything.
and yep, I know ohlins are where it’s at, but like I mentioned I’m staying within a budget. I’m actually staying within that budget to see if I can have lower lap times then ohlins owners on my local track. The ol “do the same or better with less concept”

so I’m taking that you haven’t used them or owned them yet? If so, thank you for your comment but I’m looking for real owners/users, not just talk, no offense.

As is usual, if you're a better drive than the guys on ohlins, you'll still probably be faster than them. Just like a better driver will be faster in a 400whp car than a noob in a 600whp car.

Plus, money isn't an issue. I could buy two sets of Ohlins if I wanted. I just want to use a lower price point CO and see how/what I do on my local track and how I do vs others with Ohlins (like I mentioned), before I go to the more expensive CO.

So with FA, Stance, Reinhardt, and a few others, I get the feeling they are purchasing some common core. Then it comes to who can you get service from and whats their total package look like.

Jay you are doing all this just for funsies? I wish I could buy stuff for the sake of seeing "what if?".
But, that's kinda why I keep my car mostly stock. I like when people come to see "what do you have done to this thing" and are bummed when they see a basically stock engine bay LOL

If that is the case, FA has really, really, really good customer service. Best I've seen from a coilover manufacturer, when spending below $4k (and probably far more...?).

I've never really looked at the shock dyno's closely, but I agree that having the valving start to blow off at only 1in/sec seems really low. Body roll on sharp turn in would easily exceed that.
