Imho they are too of a low end to make rebuilt worth it. Just get Flex Zs instead.

Feal Suspension does Fortune rebuilds for $100 a corner (may add some small cost for minor misc. parts like dust boots, etc). Turn around is pretty quick and Odi and his staff are very communicative. I have Feals myself which is why I got them rebuilt by him recently.

You can get a rebuild done for $55 USD a corner, so $220 all said and done. I didn't realize that you could get a set of Flex Z's for $220. Please send me a line to them that cheap so that I can buy them right away |

In today's topic: people talk shit about coilovers they dont know anything about based probably only on their name. Digressive handbuilt coilovers are worse than mass produced and as generic as they get flex Z... damn the forum warriors are on fire today.

wow.. that went kinda nuts. I was just wondering if anyone has ever gotten it done through them.
I bought the fortunes when the FRS was just new to the market, i could have only chosen HKS KW at that time but i wanted something American hand built. thought it would be nice to support my southern neighbors. and yea is $55 a corner to rebuild. |
