Oh. Don't worry. I understand the situation. I also understand that sometimes shit happens and you gotta live with it. I understand that Fortune believed their system was valid and publicly apologized. They never asked OP for extra labor or testing for free. It was all incidental.

i had to google "weeaboo" :o

Honestly I did too... Cole just made himself look like a total douche since "weeaboo" has absolutely nothing to do with what was being discussed. Not even a little. Good job Cole.

Is this you?

If me calling you a weeaboo was so off topic, then why'd you start with the personal attacks on me? I would apologize for making you butt hurt, but you're a grown man. You should learn to deal with meanies on the interwebz.

You are very condescending in every topic I've ever seen you in. Is there a reason you think you're above everyone else and superior? One thing I've found in my many years of dealing with customer service daily is most people who act the way you do have deeper issues, personal issues with their persona and seek approval/power since they feel they're lacking. It's honestly concerning seeing as how often you do it.

Again... what does this guy have to do with customer service or suspension parts? I mean, if you wanted to say"I may be an asshole but at least I'm not a bitch who let's people take advantage of them" it would have made sense but instead you picked a fairly racist and probably ironic(I'm guessing wapanese is the English version and weeaboo is the Japanese word for the same person) term to describe me. What does pretending to be Japanese have to do with anything? Like... at all? What's the connection? I could say "at least I'm not a wigger" or "at least I'm not short" or maybe "at least my dishes got washed last night" and they would all be just as applicable. I'm not asking you to be nice, cuz we all know that's pointless. But at least try to make sense.

i just ate but oh wells :popcorn:

Can we not lock this thread...it's one of the few useful air/cup threads we have.

were you ever able to solve the issue of having FRS SUV ride height by adding droop? How did you lower the car enough to get rid of the gap even with the cups installed?

Fortune Auto Air Piston Lift System
 

I’m hoping to get some help from fortune auto and the community about this custom one off set that was sold to a customer and that I purchased. If you notice on FA website they only sell the setup with front pistons. This one off set had the rears added on, so that all 4 corners had the cups on them. I am able to adjust the fronts to the ride height I want however after installing the rears my car is like an suv. Keep in mind I’m using the OEM LCAs and have Stance V2 LCAs coming in tkmorrow to help drop this some more.

Here is a picture of what it looks like at the moment. (OEM LCAs).

I believe he coilovers are already on the max adjustment to lower as the bottom mount is already maxed out and no way to move the shock tube down anymore.

Basically where can I adjust to lower the rear some more after installing the drop LCAs?

Thanks!

When you added the cups, did you adjust the spring down to account for the cup height? If the cup is 2 inches tall (un pressurized) then the spring needs adjusted down 2 inches. Not the coilover shock. A cup kit shouldn't affect ride height after install (if installed properly).

Are the cups currently pressurized? Just trying to cover all the bases

I simply took them out of the box. And my friend helped set the preload of the springs agains the cups. I’m pretty sure the cups are fully compressed. When I swapped out the used fittings I could see into the cups that they looked compressed. And I totally understand what you’re getting at. When I get down there I’ll take another look.

I can't imagine the cups themselves have a valve that would retain pressure so you're probably safe there.

I was just considering preload and how all that would affect your situation. It came to mind that if your springs don't compress an inch (or however tall your cups are at full extension) then the car won't lift beyond that. For example: if your springs compress 1/2 inch with the cars weight on them, then the cups can only lift the car 1/2 inch. Therefore, to have the necessary travel in the shock itself, you may need slop in your spring/cup assembly to account for cup extension.

Now, since I can't imagine your springs compressed 0 under the cars weight, I'm not sure how that is affecting the current situation.


Post#19 in this thread lists email and phone for Fortune. I'm running out of ideas so, maybe they know something we don't.

Totally get it. I'm going to go to FA directly and see if they can help out some. Last time I talked to someone over at FA didnt get much help :(
