So I guess the springs still had to settle a bit. I started scraping going into and out of my apartment complex yesterday. I'm trying to figure out the best angle to approach this at, but any lower and it'd be impossible to get in/out of there.

TIME TO MOVE.

Looks awesome Jon. One of the best I've seen. Clean drop. What's the cost for the coilovers, springs and bearing upgrade?

Some spacers will definitely give it a more flush look, but since new wheels and tires should be sorted out soon, we've chosen not to go the spacer route since its up on the lift while we design a header and complete exhaust system. We went with the 8K 8K setup just to give it a try, I honestly thought it would feel much stiffer than it actually does. From a performance aspect, i think the 8K 8K setup suits the car well.

Thank you! We run Fortune Auto's on our race car as well as many other cars, they are hard to beat. The MAP pricing for the Fortune Auto 500 series is $1149, Swift Springs upgrade is MAP $299. The Fortune Auto coilovers are Built in the USA and can be customized to your desired Valving and Spring rates, with or without doing the Swift Spring upgrade. Please PM me if you'd like more information and what pricing we can do. =)

Thank you! Prior to any suspension being available, this look is what we were told by most that they would like to see, so this is what we helped design with Fortune Auto. I think it pulls it off great as well.

That is my favorite as well! It took a bit of messing with the shutter speed and aperture while "painting" it with a light, but it sure is awesome.
