Fortune 500 series VS BC racing
Another coilover thread, which one is better for drifting and occasional street use.
I need lots of opinions from people that owned at least one of those.

I was thinking of reviews from someone that isnt sponsored by Fortune and got a set of free coilovers. Id write many good things about em too.

Also I just noticed that like half of FD runs BC now - Saito, Nishida, DeNofa(i know he kinda owns the company or whatever, but still), Goodin, lots of Northwest guys too.

I was thinking Fortune too, they provide you with shock dyno graph and custom tune those for your application.

Im just buying coil overs sometime next week and doing all the research I can, dont wanna be one of those guys that sells their coilovers with 500 miles on them

I currently have bc racing, and i am switching to fortune auto. Because i really am not satisfied with the way bc racing valves their coilovers. The springs are garbage too.

Fortunes are assembled in America by Americans...in other words, it's a real shop with real customer service. You won't have to jump through middle men and distributors if you have an issue. Not to mention the quality is the best in it's price point. IMO, you won't find a better coilover south of $1800

Fortunes all day long. Also, don't discount FEAL Suspension. I bought from them and they are also US built.

Did you bother reading the damn thread to begin with? Yes, Knoop made the initial review, but almost every Zilvia member who has FA pretty much chimed in there with their own input and review of it, including me.

I have had two sets of coilovers, I had the KTS coils from SPL on my s14. And now... I have the fortune auto 500 on my S13...

They ride incredibly smooth for being coilovers, easy to adjust, exceptional build quality, pretty color of green
I definitely recommend them, ride is comfortable enough and feels very solid and planted on the ground. As long as you put everything together properly, they are quiet too.
