If the reviews are good, I'll be getting the 510 v2 with swift springs for sure!

These are great for adjusting preload. Ive been running these on my coilovers for a while and it really helps with single height adjustment coils. Most people wont end up needing them. On most other coils, they'll use just the metal race to reduce friction. These thrust bearing will require some maintenance in the long run

Fortune Auto seems to have stepped it up with their new 510 series.

We weren't really impressed with their old stuff, but the newer stuff looks much better. We do carry the line and may be testing out a new kit shortly.

If you're interested in a kit DuckJai let us know, we have a new shipment coming in soon to our warehouse soon.

For sure, just waiting on reviews from the new 510s.

I'm expecting a BIG performance difference since the owner said it will perform like the higher end coilovers on a public forum.

Pretty big shoes to fill with those strong words imo...time will tell.

Would you enlighten us as to what effect Canadian winters have on your coils?

Not trying to bring this back....but just thought id add, stance does custom valving/spring rates and building by request, they told me that what they have listed is for basic setups for ppl wanting lower cars with slightly better performance, but if you call and ask what you should run the story is different. They were ready to build me a set of custom procomp2 coils for my gs 18k front 14 rear, on swift springs....but I got put on a ration by the wife lol...so ended up getting super sports.....they valved them for 20k front and 16k rear on swift springs, (i changed my spring rates) jist call them theyll do whatever you want...only catch is, if its not off tje shelf parts the wait is 6-8 weeks for them to build them...and if they dont make them already you gotta send in a lot of pics
