Coilovers?

I know I've tweaked mine and the front wheel gap is more than the front,

One of those can't be right.

Ohlins. I own fortune auto. Not near good enough. The ohlins is a solid home run. I got a chance to drive @Bluemustang car. Excellent kit!

Accept no pretenders.

I've run several Steeda setups as well. Sport progressive springs are too low. Rear dual rate springs are probably not best way forward. Proactive arent damped enough in rebound. Proaction adjust are pretty good - best of what they have.

But Bilstein take the cake in the best balance of perf for price but you need to not stray wildly from stock spring rates.

What didn't you like about the fortune auto's? I was looking at them over the steedas. I'm happy with the performance of the steeda's but I feel like they could be better. Great on flat track but any rough surface they hop around.

grossly lacking piston travel. They are missing at least 1" and ore like 2" of travel. I've got them almost topped out even with the car on on it's wheels. And I can easily crash into the minimalist bump stops. I don't know where those guys went to suspension school but they have much to learn.

I've traded quite a few words with their chief of engineering but he won't see the basic failing of his product line. So I'm going to tear them apart and see what I can do about the travel. And revalve and bias the shim stack more to my liking.

The "$1000 class" shocks are all pretty damn bad, and should only be considered loose parts to then re-build. FA's price should come with better but it's not not. For just a little more you can get Ohlins. So it's no contest, go with the serious guys.

That's how I have mine set as as well. I should get the raised damper pick-ups to get more travel, but I know from experience, that the camber arm bottoms on the subframe before the damper runs out of travel(It cuts the damper feed wire in the process).
