Fortune Auto Rebuild Reviews?
Hey guys! so i got my fortune auto 500 back in 2013 when the car first came out. Being one of the early adopters its time to either get a new set of coils or rebuild my current set. I'm pretty sure i have Edition 4 meaning a rebuild is only $55 a corner.
I was just wondering if anyone here has had experience with their rebuilds, im worried if i send me set in, they tell me i have to get everything changed and eventually cost more than a new set. (im assuming re-valving mean rebuild cuz they have to take apart the the whole coil to get to the shims inside) and in that case, its $100 a corner.) I looked around the forums but couldn't find a thread. TL: DR anyone have experience with FA rebuild service? Turn around time? Thanks guys! |

Have you contacted them? It is cheaper to rebuild them unless you are planning to upgrade to something else.

Your best bet is to give them a call but the previous posters are correct there is substantial difference between a rebuild and re-valve with the rebuilds typically being significantly cheaper if you don't give them a completely trashed coilover.

turnaround time at this time of year is likely longer than 2 weeks. I just waited about a month for a replacement assembly. Keep that in mind when you are planning out your build
