Do you know how to read a shock dyno?

Shock dyno's are great for people who know how to read shock dynos otherwise they are great for lining your birdcage with.

no i do not. i just thought that meant they are willing to prove the quality of their coilovers and stand behind them. im just exploring an other option. cuz apparently the route i wanna go is "overkill"

I wouldn't necessarily make that assumption. I'm not saying they aren't quality since I have no basis to make a statement like that.

I've seen your other thread and I am aware that you've spoken to us about coilovers. All we (Adam) are trying to do is help you pick the right product.

The Ohlins and other coilovers you've referenced in your other thread are a waste for what your plans are for the car. You are free to spend your money however you so please but most people I know aren't keen on spending money that they don't have to. As for Fortune Auto I don't know anything about their products.

well i'd rather go overboard then have not enough. i guess thats my theory on life. well i guess ima just stick with you guys and get the ohlins cuz i dunno if i wanna wait 2 months for the zeals. i spoke to adam and it seems at the end of the day i gotta choose. theres no one product better then another. i did a little research on the ohlins and there for tracking and daily driving. so thats whats attracting me and towards the zeal Xs. do you have an opinion to lend?

Why not Stance or BR Coilovers? If your goals are DD these are perfect. You can even run the inverted setup from the BR for track for better results.
