Fortune Auto 510 Coilover Review

[rwense]

So you can code the EDC module out using Protool. I'd share the coding list but some of is are looking into an issue. I used it to code mine out and had an error come up concerning the auto height adjustment for the headlights. Albeit my headlights work just fine, are pointed correctly, and still do the little dance upon startup.

Thanks for the replies..
How did you code it out?
For anyone interested in FA’s I got mine during their Scratch and Dent Black Friday sale, nice discount and they are basically in mint condition. But there’s usually maybe 3 available so gotta move fast.

Figured I'd post a short update now that I ran an AutoX with these coils.

Overall, fantastic. I started with 12 clicks from soft F/R and then tried 18F/12R (mainly since I couldn't access it at the time). And the front end felt even better, super tight and responsive. I'll definitely be trying 18F/18R on the track next time around.

Thank you for sharing all of this information. I’ve been very close to purchasing the Ohlins with Vorshlag plates. Glad to hear of another option. I think I’ll give RMC a call. Might end up coming back to this post for install advice if I hit a snag.

I will also be ordering new wheels and the same size tires that you’re using. Would you mind sharing your wheel specs? I keep reading that the 275/40/18 likes a bit wider wheel than 10”. Seems like the Titan T-S5 is the most popular option measuring 10.7”, but would like to hear other options.

No problem! I'm glad it can help someone! I would caution against going to ohlins + Vorshlag route. Although I have not run them myself I have heard MANY negative experiences with Vorshlag. Im sure the Ohlins themselves are fantastic but dealing with the camberplates and their customer service seems to be a sticking point. I won't say any more but if you ask around I'm sure others would be happy to share their experiences.

As for my wheel/tire choice, I would whole heartedly recommend the titan7 Supra-specific wheel set. The 10.7" seems to work quite well with the Nankang CRS in 275/40r18. I'm currently running V730s in 275/35 and they have a slight stretch. Definitely going to go back to the CRS when I can since I loved them so much. The only issue I've had is a very slight bit of rubbing with-3.6° camber at full lock. Otherwise they've been great

I called RMC today and left a message.

Did you consider the FA 520’s? Would be nice to have independent 2 way adjustment, but the side mounted canister looks like it might get in the way of things.

Just came in here to say F Vorshlag.

Nice! I did however it was out of the budget. I figured once I felt I needed it I could always have them upgraded to the 520!

Not sure about the mounting however.

Hey @rwense , I finally got my order placed with RMC. They’ve been super busy and not very responsive. Nice guy though. Very excited to the the FA 510’s.

I’m considering replacing the front sway bar at the same time, but I’d really like to get some track days in first. Get a feel for one change at a time.

If I keep the stock sway bar, do you think I should use some adjustable end links? I feel like it would be a good idea, I’m just not sure why. Alignment, geometry…..?

That's awesome dude! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

It might not be a bad idea to get them just to make sure you don't preload the bar and such. I had an eibach bar on my car when I installed the coils so ymmv. I picked up the whiteline endlinks and they seem to be doing fine so far. I also have the stock bar and endlinks in the rear with zero issues.

How was your experience with installing the rear endlinks?

I have OEM rear endlinks, there wasn't any issue after the 510 install

@rwense I got the suspension installed a couple of days ago. Not much drive time yet. I was looking at the rears and realized that I don’t know which direction to turn the dial for hard/soft. I don’t see any H/S indicators. Can you please let me know? Thinking the orientation would be top looking down for clockwise and counterclockwise. Thank you
