Fortune Auto Coilovers - Group Buy?
 

I've been working with Marti at Rev-Works on a solution for my '13 vert and if there's enough interest, he'll give us special pricing for a group buy.

Please note that these are all made to order and you can spec your spring rate and valving. They also offer an upgrade to Swift Springs.

If I get enough interest, I'll suggest that they offer "kit" pricing as most of us purchase camber kits, toe bolts, etc at the same time.. maybe I could make up some specific kits.

You best deal for a totally Bespoke suspension solution :ughdance:

PM me if interested.

i might be interested in just the coilovers depending on price

In for more details.

PMs sent

I am interested in coils with swift springs if the price is right.

Interested! Wheels + Suspension is on the mod list for 2014

Just got your pm. I'll respond in a bit.

I ran some of thier suspension pieces on my 240. Awesome products, love their colors especially when you can see them through your wheels.

wanna see the prices with swift springs might try and sell my stance coilovers and get these

Everyone who showed interest should be getting a PM with the deets from Marti.

Update:
The more Marti can sell, the better pricing we get so if you can help out, please do!

Everyone who's shown interest will be getting a PM from Marti ASAP and I'll continue to add names as others show interest.

I'm in for pricing info with swift option

I need pricing with the Swift Spring option. Thank you.

Anyone have pics of how low these will go?

Me too. I was talking to Marti about these anyway.

Payment sent :happydance:

Please count me out of this group buy list for now. Thanks.

Payment sent!! Can't wait!

Dang I missed out I just got mine

speedfreek and MarlinZ, what config did you end up going with?

Fortune Auto 500 with Swift spring upgrade

Customized spring rate for my setup: 12k front 10k rear.

I did the questionnaire to see what they suggest for my setup. I'd be interested after I get a response from them.

I sent my payment too!

I went with the fully loaded 500 option 11k/8k for dd along with the rear adjustment extenders and the radial bearing mounts.

Are the bearings what the rear lower bolt slides through? Normally are they just hard rubber?

They actually go up front. They help to reduce any unwanted noise from the top hat.

O that's right the rear has the U shape bracket on the bottom.

I forgot if I got it or not, how do i check?

I'm not sure exactly where they go I haven't seen a set with them on yet. Maybe somebody else knows more?

It's the whole upper thing under the cam plate. They have a video of the install on their site. The spring sits under it.

Now that I think about it, I remember Chris at Fortune Auto said the bearing is not necessary for our application. I don't have the email anymore as to why, but I had asked him that. Also this is what he said about the Swift spring upgrade

You can safely go +/- 3k before needing to revalve the shocks. I cannot give you a difference in track times between the 500 and 510 series coilovers. There are too many things to factor in. Swift springs have a few advantages over our standard Fortune Auto springs. They are lighter in weight, they are made of Swift's own silicone chrome material which is corrosion resistant, they are faster reacting, they offer a much smoother ride without sacrificing performance, lastly they don't sag over time. I strongly recommend these based on ride quality alone.

Well guys be careful, one of the adjuster on my rear shock was completely frozen when I put it on my hand for the pre install check. I finally got it to unfreeze by using the extended adjuster, except now the knob just spins with no limit. I have contacted Fortune Auto to have it send back. ARGGGG I better get it before middle of December, else I am not going to be able to compare them to the stock suspension at the track. This sucks.

Hopefully it's an isolated incident and they get you fixed up in a timely manner.
