I picked these up because i wanted to try something different. Everyone talks about KW's, HR's etc. so i had to go against the grain lol. The Fortune Coilovers came with built-in Camber plates and 24 level adjustable damping. Heres a link for more info. http://www.fortune-auto.com/fortune5...scoilovers.htm

Heres the install. Sorry no instructions just pic's (alot)





















Overall i think these Forture Auto "500" coilovers are a good "bang for you buck" now its not geared towards a all out "track/race car" but as a daily driver and AutoX its great and if you do decide to hit up the track its fine. But if you want to hit up the track more then just a few times a year they have the 550 series which is more for the track and its much stiffer then the 500 series. Like i said before what sold me was the fact that it came with camber plates/adjustable damping and most important/adjustable ride height and the warranty!!!!

I see you were a Honda guy that made the leap, something I am about to do myself (I own a AP2)

Maybe a little off topic, but how do you like the BMS intake and how does it sound? When I got a intake for the S, I went with the FIPK2 souly on the way it sounded. It gave the engine a deep growl that was intoxicating.

Nice.... AP2. i always wanted one too.

i really like the BMS intakes. the sound is pretty sick and even better once you put some DP's. pretty sure you'll wet your pants when you hear it for yourself.
