Funny that there is just one guy that is repping the Fortune Auto coilovers. Even goes so far as emailing to see what he can do. Like one guy's input will lead FA to make a change. Its as if this guy works for the company.

I don't work for fortune auto but I was trying to help you guys out. I finally heard a response back from Terry saying they are working on a bracket but need a local X to finish it. Also it will be an option when buying the coilovers which was a topic we disagreed on as that shouldn't be an option but included in the unit. They are also coming out with a new series that are more geared towards street comfort and will be made from steel so the bracket will be welded onto it like most others you see. I am done defending FA as I expressed my concern that it isn't just X's that should have this bracket and that I would want one and could help them fit it on my IX. They basically told me too bad. Too bad for them as I will never promote another sale for them. I helped them sell five sets and this is the thanks I get. Time to start saving up for AST 4100's.

They dont care, always will be some one who will buy them, and that is the deal .
Its like a 99 cents store. Go back there and complain about the quality or design defects of they product. LOL
You will never going to see them worrying to loosing customers, neither what is happening with them.

My understanding is they are 1900 + main springs and helper springs. They ahve fittings that you use if you want to use the stock top hats and you can get camber plates if you don't. Cheapest is probably ~2500 or so.

how is stance better then fortune auto? Do you mean they are better so you can slam your car as low as possible? Fortune auto guys actually track their cars with their coilovers...they use off the shelf 500 series or use to and actually podiumed. Show me a track car that uses stance...

I custom valved my bilsteins with Eibach springs and GC sleeves; shyt is epic for me and probably cost about the same, or less than those cheapass coilover setups.... If I could go back and do it again, I would stick with the same thing, though AST 5200's are my "dream" setup that are not out of reach, pricewise.
