Fortune Auto 500 or Stance Supper Sport

Debating between these 2.. pricewise they're within $100 from each other..
which would be more comfortable? durability? customer service?
any input would greatly appreciated

also kind of thinking about Eibach sportline+ Koni..?

If you go with Stance hit up @THMotorsports they'll give you the best price hands down

I've read good things about Fortune Auto 500s with swift springs upgrades.

I had this same debate, I ended up going with the Fortune Autos, had an AWESOME experience with FT-86SpeedFactory.com and their customer service. You can read my review on the coilovers here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...754#post842754

We sell both brands and both are great. Fortune is one we really enjoy working with and they are top notch on support.

I'd go with the Fortunes, but I'm a little biased

I went through ft86 speedfactory as well. Great experience. The guys at FA are very helpful, too. A couple of my friends personally know the guys there and have nothing but positive things to say.

I voted for FA 500. Like everyone mention, mostly positive about FA coilover with swift upgrade.

I should probably add that I have Swift springs on mine as well and roller bearings.

Only complaint is the the roller bearings dried out from the salt (DD this car).... but I will either re-lubricate them or just buy their newer designed bearings.

thanks for all the inputs.. looks like koni + sportline is ahead but anyone with this setup has inputs? i have koni yellow +neuspeed racesprings on my del sol and I like it.. that setup, i could raise and lower the car with the koni shocks but it's not the same about koni for this car.. that's why I'm a bit hesitant
