Building a daily driver, just thought I'd share these Fortune Auto Muller coilovers. I bought these with ride comfort as my top priority. Ive had ksports, bc racing, universal air, airforce suspension, and Broadway air suspension. These by far are the most comfortable next to Broadway. I bought the car from a dealer, I guess they swapped the OEM Air with some brand called Suncore, they weren't horrible but they weren't the best either. Put a subwoofer in the trunk and you could noticeably see the unevenness in the drop. The struts also rode kinda rough on **** roads. No regrets on this purchase, quality stuff from Fortune Auto!
Your build looks awesome so far! Those 7 Series wheels look great.
I’ve been wondering if the Fortune Auto coilovers were worth the upgrade from BC Racing. It sounds like a big difference from your post. Scan you order them with custom spring rates like the BC’s?
I like the build so far, fitment is pretty much spot on for running static! I would get some different center caps for the wheels
Keep up the good work
Thanks! Yes haha I have some clear silver gel overlays and adhesive Lexus emblems on the way, just didn’t wanna ride with the hub exposed. And had to change my ride height about and inch and a half too much rubbing, wheels are pretty aggressive with the 12mm spacer up front.

The Muller line that they have are for grand touring use and only have applications for Lexus, benz, bmw, Porsche, Etc. I can’t speak for the 500 series they have. As for the custom spring rates, the Muller line comes with swift spring standard and yes you can choose your spring rate. Just drove from SD to LA rides perfect turned the dampening down since I raised my ride height. The only thing is my 12k springs in the front are too soft for the fitment I’m trying to achieve, so I might be going up to 18k.
Finished her up for now. Had to raise the fronts up because of rubbing, thinking about ordering new calipers then face milling them 12mm to get rid of the spacer. Anyone know how unsafe that would be?

Thank you for the reply. I’ll have to get a set then. They sound exactly like what I’ve been wanting for my LS. Can the coilovers go really low?

not sure how low they can go, but at my current ride height in the picture above I still have 85mm left to drop on the front shock and 143mm in the rear (it does have a max point the body can travel so not really 143) if I maxed it out I’m pretty sure it would be slammed. Another company I saw while doing research but don’t know how they ride are RSR Black:
Lowered the car, fenders buckled in. So I took it to my boy’s shop (Executive Elite Autobody) I used a hammer and dolly to pull the fenders out and “flare them out” then my boy Chris did the body work to give it that oem look.
Also got some B&G 18k springs for the front and threw my 12k swifts in the rear. Gotta say they are still pretty comfortable and are as good as the swift springs. And I was able to lower the car and not have any rubbing issues.
