Default Fortune Auto Coilover?

I've seen these things being thrown around, advertising quite a bit, and Rspeed has them at a decent price.

Monotube, digressive(aren't most nowadays?), ok springrate selection for a DD or casual track/autox fellow. 1 year warranty.

My friend is looking at getting a set for his MSM. He currently has Vmaxx and isn't happy, I wasn't when I drove his car either, lolz

Anyone got some good feedback on them?

there was some arguement over them at MT.

I can't really say I like them, they seem pretty expensive at 1k (I think?) a pop.

I would rather build a bilstein or koni based coilover and put the leftover $300 into a nice set of sway bars or new control arm bushings.

no difference than anything other trendy-at-the-moment coilover (megan, dgr, gr+, BC, etc.).


nothing special; just another 30-point adjustment, monotube imported from the same warehouse in Taiwan...

btw, we have quite a few threads on the DIY coilover. Let me know if your buddy is interested.

I'll buy his VMaxx off him if he's looking to sell!

First, I know this is an extremely old thread, but... I could've sworn they were built in house, not imported from taiwan, hence why for people of NC, warranty work happens within two weeks...
