FS: E9x FortuneAuto FA500 Coilovers (2k miles on them)
My car came with FA510 coilovers and the spring rate was too high for my use (10K(560) Front 14K (784lb) Rear). I replaced them with FA500 Gen7 coilovers and it was better, but still too high for my commute (8K(448lb) Front 11K (672lb) Rear).
The build quality and camber plates are really nice, and the separate ride height adjustment from the spring compression is "the way all of them should work"...just not what I wanted for a daily driver that never goes to the track. After 2k miles I replaced them with Ohlins R&T (6k(340lb) front, 12k(695lb) rear) and stock top hats. Knowing what I know now, I should have just changed the springs on the fronts to 6k, but I was worried they would need revalved. I miss the turn-in feel that I had with the additional camber I was able to run on the FA camber plates, and the top adjusters (vs the bottom on the Ohlins) was nice. https://fortune-auto.com/coilovers/500series-2/ Chicagoland, near west side, no shipping. Will take and add pics later. They function as expected, but I've not cleaned them up...condition is normal for the mileage. Looking to sell the set for $1000
