FT86speedfactory /Fortune auto

I ordered some Fortune auto 510s from ft86speed factory. great price great guys answered all my questions in a very timely manner.

my only complaint about ft86speedfactoryis there is nothing to tell me when the product was getting shipped and no tracking numbers. I sent them an email asking for it and the next day they arrived.

I purchased the Fortune auto coils over the very popular V3 because of how the height is adjusted the fact that I could get custom springs and the cost. I also have 2 friends that run these. one of them just went down to their shop for an issue and fortune was VERY VERY willing to compensate them for the use of their vehicle test bed. That tells me that they stand by their product.


I have 1 problem with the fortune autos. the Problem I had arent bad enough where i would send them back and one of them they were more than happy to fix but i opted out of and the other I have no had a chance to contact them about but I am more than certain they will fix it.

1. the springs did not have a rate marked on them. BUT all the paper work the box and everything has the spring rates on them so I am cofident that they are what they say. Fortune offered to send me new springs but i said no. the knowing that they were willing to send me new springs was enough to make me feel confident in them.



sorry for the vid size things dont want to be uploaded correctly to youtube

Spring rates are typically never marked on a coil spring. Usually just a part number. Fortune ships these direct so we sometimes don't get notified when they ship. Sorry for the tracking communication.

We will have the right bolts sent to you. A local hardware store would also have them if you need them ASAP. Please do not drive the car like that, those are your brake lines and need to be secured.

Appreciate the review. We'll get you to 100% satisfied.
