Default Fortune Auto vs. BC

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying some coilovers for my nismo 350z and I was just wondering which would be better quality and lowness, Fortune auto or BC? Can yall post up pics of rides with these coilover setups? Or if theres any other suggested coilovers in the same price range as these it would be much appreciated, thanks.

Im not sure about bc, ive heard great things about them though.
as for fortune auto i have been running the 500 series with swift spring upgrades and i love them, they are dynoed so each set is matched which most companies wont provide for you, and if you contact them they will valve the coilovers to your specs. the only gripe i have with them is that the "clicks" in between adjustments is hard to feel but you just need to go slow.

Thanks for the helpful advice,
What's the swift springs and what clicks are you talking about? I'm just gonna be daily driving on the coilovers, I just want to sit really low at the same time!

swift springs are just very well made with a wide range of spring rates, they also have a helper spring if you check out fortunes site they can explain it way better than i, as for clicks on all adjustable coilovers the adjustment **** will click for every setting, they click just not as noticable as most others. they sit very low my fenders are maybe 1/2 inch away from my rims.

I will post pics on monday im going out of town for the weekend, been on the fortune auto 500 series for 4 months they are solid, im not "hellaflush" but you can definetly get there if you wanted. after researching a bit more i found that the bc br series are much better for dd, fortune autos are stiff but bearable if that helps at all.
