Fortune Auto 500 W/ Swift springs *SHORT REVIEW* - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I am debating between getting BC's or these FA500's. how low do you have your FA500's set? Is that maxed out low or is there still room to go lower? Not that I really want to, you are at about the exact height I want to get to, just curious. How much did they run you with the roller bearing and swift spring upgrades? If you don't mind me asking.

Also, I can't believe no one has mentioned in comparing to BC, the FA500's have a five year warranty rather than just one.

As long as the purpose for these coilovers was a DD setup with very little track use, then you made a good choice!

posted some thoughts and impressions. these coils are fantastic for the price if anybodys thinking of getting a pair.

BRZPDX · 12-08-2013, 07:20 PM

So what is the total height adjustability on these? I've heard the rears don't lower enough, but with lca's you can drop another inch or so? Which lca's gives a drop?

dirtbike250x · 12-08-2013, 09:15 PM

Any spring bind noise?

SpeedR · 12-12-2013, 05:22 PM

looks good maybe a bit low to me.

Freshfrs86 · 01-10-2014, 12:06 AM

@loogs what is your wheel and tire setup?

Krazy · 01-10-2014, 01:44 AM

Did you do the install yourself?

FRS Johnny · 01-10-2014, 01:50 AM

I'm also very interested in your set up! are the pictures with the stance LCA? How much more drop can you get? I think what you have is just perfect

armythug · 01-11-2014, 12:07 AM

Looks good man. What are your wheel and tire specs?

DrDuquette · 01-11-2014, 06:31 PM

I was first very interested in the ST coils, but then with some research and emails with Speedfactory, I am now set on soon getting the 500's. I was asking about the LCA, glad to see that you are happy with the Stance.

If you use the radial bearings which we always tell people to get you won't have any spring bind noise.

He did get a good package. We're still running ours on the silver car and loving them on and off the track. Great coils for the money!

You can go low enough to bottom the car out if you wish. Not something we recommend though.
