Suspension Review for PBM and/or Fortune Auto?

I have narrowed it down to these two companies. I just need some honest reviews on these coils.

I am looking into PBM competition and Fortune Auto 500 or 510 with swift springs.

It's my daily driver that I do drift and time attack with aswell. I live in Ohio and roads are a little bumpy and can be a little tore up,
So I don't want the roughest coilovers available.

And no I am not buying a $2K coilovers for a daily so don't even try to convince me.

FA 500's.

the 510's are not recommended for street unless its to/from the track. valving is way too aggressive. get the 500's with swift springs and you're golden

I would say PBMs because they kick ass and I hate FA parts with a passion, but since you're worried about ride quality on rough roads, FAs might be better. PBMs are aggressive.

If it isn't that big of a deal, I still say PBMs
