..... info below

The guys at Fortune Auto are offering up a Group buy on their TRACK PROVEN 500 Series Coilovers Exclusively for the MR2 community!!!!

Some quick info on Fortune Auto. (Taken directly off their site)

History

Fortune-Auto USA was born in late 2007. Its subsidiary is located in Taipei, Taiwan and has been manufacturing coilovers since 1998.

Our Vision

Fortune-Auto was created to fill a gap in the Asian coilover market. Currently, many popular Japanese manufacturers outsource their coilovers to Taiwan. Traditionally, Taiwan has offered the market place a lower end coilover with minimal adjustability, inferior construction practices and poor damping/performance.

However, Fortune-Auto has embraced the Japanese technology and manufacturing processes to provide a "high line" coilover for the masses at an extremely affordable price. We have also incorporated many innovative features to our line of coilovers and have gone above and beyond by offering a super reinforced piston on all of our coilovers. The industry standard is 45mm; our coilovers have a 50mm-51mm diameter piston . This provides superior damping and durability.

We also incorporate the following features in every coilover:

* 30 way adjustability
* Anodized (NOT PAINTED) shock bodies for superior corrosion resistance
* Height adjustment independent of preload
* ISO certification
* All coilovers are DYNO TESTED
* All coilovers are REBUILD-ABLE in the USA!!!

All Fortune Auto coilovers are dyno tested and matched at the factory with
in specifications to insure a consistent and uniform set of coilovers. We
can also rebuild or custom re-valve coilovers at our USA facility minimizing
turn around time.

* Dyno tested***
* Stainless steel body / piston
* 30-way adjustable dampers
* Pillowball mounts
* Forged aluminum locking collars
* Dust boots on all pistons
* 50mm piston (beyond the industry standard of 44-47mm)
* Anodized aluminum camber plates** on front upper-mounts
* Fully anodized body
* 1 year Manufacturer's Warranty
* Height adjustment independent of preload
* ISO 9002 certification

***Every Fortune Auto coilover is extensively dyno tested and matched with in specifications to insure a consistent and uniform set of coilovers. This rigorous testing has earned us our ISO certification.

Furthermore we incorporate features only found on our coilovers such as Seamless stainless steel monotubes, Forged lower mounts & proprietary nitrogen gas chambers

All Fortune Auto coilovers are rebuildable at our USA facility. Click for details
**Adjustable camber plates included on MOST vehicle front applications with Macpherson Strut suspension systems.

MSPR $1375.00
Group Buy Pricing will only be $1050.00 for the first 5 units if we can make it to 10 the price will drop to $975.00!!!

standard SPECS for both sets are the same 4k/ 224lb 8k/ 448lb

If you have any Questions please fee free to ask!!

Joe

They said they are doing this to cut overhead as business slowed down considerably this year with the whole world wide economy and they are restructuring

I have some bad news. The manufacturer just contacted me last night. They just revised the application list and cut out more then 1/2 of the applications.

Unfortunately the mr2 was one of them. I informed them of the GB going on but they said they could no longer produce them because they barely sold that application and they no longer produce the mounts for them.

I am really sorry as I did not see this coming

Redlyne_mr2 · 12-12-2009, 11:51 AM

Joe what's the difference between these and the 510s?
I'm pretty much in pending my final decision on model..I've got an sw20.

RedStarr · 12-12-2009, 02:22 PM

My cousin called Fortune Auto when he was debating which version he should go with for his Evo IX and they recommended he get the 500 series due to the minute differences between the 510s and 500s. The 510s come with a print-out of the shock dyno and a 1mm larger piston than the 500 iirc, but I'll let monopolizedinc chime in if there are any other differences

RedStarr · 12-12-2009, 02:23 PM

And fyi, put me on the list...by the hook or the crook, I'm getting these.

91_two · 12-12-2009, 04:15 PM

What spring rates are these coming with for front/rear?
