Fortune Auto - Assembled in the USA | Track Proven | Ti
Vivid Racing is proud to announce that we are now an Authorized Dealer for Fortune Auto!! Before coming to Vivid Racing, I was at a coilover company and I can say confidently that Fortune Auto has a better product than just about everything in their class.
Fortune Auto assembles all coilovers in the USA at their Powhatan, VA facility and does extensive quality control on all dampers. In addition to tight quality control, Fortune Auto has proven their product on and off the track and their assembly techs ensure that each set of dampers are matched for unparalleled handling and ride comfort. No excessive variation from corner to corner with Fortune Auto coilovers.
Fortune Auto also offers Swift Springs as an optional upgrade on the 500 and 510 series. All Fortune Auto coilovers use industry standard IP oils from Italy, and can even be ordered in Drag Spec!
I will beat ANY advertised price from an Authorized Dealer!! PM me for details!!
Fortune Auto does not hide their shock dyno plots like most other coilover manufacturers!
^^ Fortune Auto 500 Series - Low Hysteresis. This is good. \/\/\/\/\/ Popular "JDM" coilover that actually isn't JDM - The hysteresis here is unacceptable and is particularly bad in the low speed range \/\/\/\/
500 Series:
510 Series:
Incorporates all the great features of our 500 series coilovers. Furthermore it includes these key features:

When I was building my S13, I seriously considered Fortune Auto coilovers and that's when I was working for a coilover manufacturer.

Hey there, I'm interested in a set of these. Could you pm me with details on what you offer? I'm not understanding the differences between the 500's and 510's. My zip is 37013.
Thanks

Found a review by a fellow My350Z Member!
Here's his roadster, hammered down on some Fortune Auto 500s:
And a link to his full review:
Fortune Auto Review by AspecTL
Some excerpts:
First off I have had many experiences with various brands of coilovers from BC Racing, Tein, and, Stance to KW.
I purchased these shocks for $xxxx plus shipping and figured I would give them a try since I have heard many favorable things about Fortunes
on Zilvia and EvoM. I figured the fact they offer custom valving and can rebuild the coilovers here in thier Richmond facility was a plus since I live in Virginia and they're practically in my back yard lol.

Driving Impressions:
It feels poised, compliant and responsive.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase! These coilovers have to be the best bang for the buck. I will say that these ride just as good as my old $2100 KW V3's.
If anyone is considering purchasing these, I'm very happy with them and fully recommend them so far. I'll try updating this after I get a little more mileage and experience with them!
