Default Anybody have these coilovers or even heard of them?

Has anybody ever heard about Fortune Auto coilovers or have them on the ls430's? Came across their website and saw that they have a lot of applications for most cars. Wondering if they're any good. Any input would be nice. Thank you.


ps. here's the website. http://www.fortune-auto.com/

I was going to say the same as VIP, I know a bunch of guys with Evo's that have them and they enjoy them. But that's a different crowd...

i just got them for my 04 LS430... not disappointed at all. i got 10k front rate and 8k rear and it rides perfect for me. not too harsh and not too soft. i daily drive mine so it was important to me to keep a nice ride. i should add that i drive it on the lowest setting up front (no finger gap) and about 3/4 down in the rear (tucking a little tire) and the springs are preloaded. get the roller bearings for the front it makes a big difference in the feel of steering. i should probably make a review thread... maybe i'll do that a little later. lol

They are OK, just another option in a flooded market .

My opinion - BC Racing is the best bang for the buck out there. They have been around for over 20 years manufacturing coilovers. they have good service, quality, and performance.

+1 for BC's and CMS. I bought a set from CMS for my '01 GS300 and loved them. The ride was super comfortable.....firm, but not bouncy or stiff. Plus, you can get different springs rates at no extra charge. Not to mention being able to get the Extreme drop kit too if going super low is your thing. Good customer service from BC as well.
