- This is a box.
And this happens to be a box from Fortune Auto.
Now, our friends at Fortune Auto,
Terry stopped on last week, paid us a visit
right here in Appleton, Wisconsin,
and he brought us this box.
Now, I'm going to open said box
with this knife for the first time.
Now, if you haven't heard of Fortune Auto,
which most of you guys probably have,
because you always mention it down in the comments.
Where is some Fortune Auto?
What about the Fortune Auto coilovers?
Well, we now have them.
On Fitment Industries, they're now live,
you can go over there and check out some Fortune Autos.
But today, we are going to be looking at some coilovers.
I don't know exactly which coilovers yet,
because the box is closed,
but we're gonna go ahead, open it up and take a look.
So, if you guys don't know about Fortune Auto,
they are a very, I guess I would say,
function based coilover.
Not a lot of stance guys, I say, would run these
specifically because they are so like, function based.
There's a lot of technology that goes in
to Fortune Auto coilovers.
So, a lot of the guys that are running these,
and are paying for them, are using them for that purpose.
They're either running them on the track,
or really putting them through their paces.
So it looks like we got, three, four,
individually packed boxes here.
Oh my god.
Like, right there, right in front of Steve
so he can't see anything.
- [Steve] Exactly.
- So this is the first of two boxes.
Go ahead and.
So it looks like we actually have
a bunch of goodies in here.
We got shirts, we got like, a bunch of shirts.
We got lanyards, as Mario likes to call them,
'cause he doesn't know how to pronounce the word lanyard.
So, the first one we are going to be looking at.
This is the 500 series from Fortune Auto.
Now, what's really cool about Fortune Auto themselves
is that not only are they really really super customizable,
but every coilover that they offer
is modular and rebuildable.
So, what modular means is that it's actually gonna be,
what they consider a lifetime product.
So this is the Fortune Auto 500 series.
This is the first coilover that
Fortune Auto offers in their lineup.
And as you can see by looking at it,
you do get a lot of tech with it.
You do get a lot of adjustability.
So, if you, starting up top,
we have the damping adjustment.
You have your adjustable camber plates.
You have, overall, a coilover that looks
absolutely fantastic.
You get a nice, like dark, like anodized green look.
You got a silver base to it, or dark gray base to it,
with the dark gray spring.
Now these are the Fortune Auto springs that come with it.
Any other coilovers, you can upgrade
to a Swift Spring if you would like.
So, as far as damping goes with the 500,
you're looking at a single adjustable damping control.
So, your damper adjustment up here
controls both rebound and compression.
So, with the 500, this is gonna be,
like I said, your more entry level coilover,
however, it does come with a absolute ton
of cool features and tech that they spent
years and years really diving into.
A lot of their engineers at Fortune Auto
have a lot of experience in the suspension,
you know, design.
A lot of them have racing backgrounds.
They test these things like absolutely none other.
They bring them to the track
and they beat the absolute living (beep)
out of these coilovers,
take them back to R and D, tell them what was wrong,
and then they fix it.
So with that, you get your first coilover which is a 500.
Now, this is meant for,
mostly like daily driving or street use.
Of course, you can take it to the track
if you're like, you know, like me
and you go to the track maybe like,
once every year or something like that,
it'll handle very well.
And if you're able to take a look inside of the 500 series,
you'd be able to see that they used that
digressive piston technology.
And so, basically what that means is
it's gonna help with a lot of your roll and dive and pitch,
at both low and high speed impacts
that happen to the coilover.
So, you are getting a lot of tech with the 500
even though it is considered their entry level coilover.
So, I'm gonna set that right there.
Steve can get some cool photo, or photos and video of that
because it's absolutely gorgeous looking piece of equipment.
Should Steve put his Honda Fit with,
what, what size wheels did you have on there Steve?
- [Steve] That I have, or what size?
- What, what size wheels do you have on there right now?
- [Steve] 16 by eight.
- What's the offset?
- [Steve] Plus 25.
- Should Steve, okay so this is,
let us know in the comments below
if Steve here, should put his Honda Fit
with 16 by eight, plus 25, what are they, 3SDMs?
- [Steve] Yup.
- On his Honda Fit.
If he should put it on air, or some Fortune Auto suspension.
You should let us know down in the comments below.
I'm voting for Fortune Auto suspension because,
I've rode with Steve and he drives it like a race car,
so it should be a race car.
Is it all, this is going to be
the Fortune auto five 10 series.
Now you're like Gels, how the hell do you know
it's the five 10 series?
You said you never opened this box before.
I can tell, because it's denoted
by the additional anodized blue pieces that are on here.
Bang, it's a small boy.
So, like I said, you can tell a 500 series
between a five 10 series by looking at
the color of the lock rings here and everything like that.
You're gonna have that nice anodized blue look.
I mean, not that we're saying like,
you're looking at the color of the coilovers
but I mean, it does look pretty nice.
So now, this takes everything from this coilover
and adds it to this coilover.
But you get a ton more goodies, per se,
with the five 10 series.
So, starting off around $2,100,
$2,100 versus the $1,300 from the 500 series,
the five 10 series offers just that much more tech in it.
Instead of the regular digressive piston in this guys,
you're looking at the ultra digressive piston in this one.
Now again, it is a single adjustable coilover still,
but the design of the piston inside of this itself,
it offers a lot more, I wouldn't,
what should, I should say harsher Adjustment.
It's like three and a half times,
like one of these clicks does three and a half times
the amount that that one click does.
So if you crank this damping all the way up,
it's gonna ride like a (beep) rock.
So, basically what that means is that,
each turn of this damper compared to that one,
is gonna do three and half times more adjustment
than the 500 series.
And that's because of that ultra digressive piston
that is inside of the shock body.
So, what they consider to be their concave flow
digressive piston, like I said,
offers three and a half times more adjustability
than your normal damper would.
But it also features that internal blow off valve
in case you hit a curb, or you hit a berm on the track.
Which, speaking of, this is going to be a very
motorsport based coilover.
So, if you're looking for something
that's gonna be on the track a majority of the time,
the five 10 series is probably the one
that you're gonna go with.
Again, if you're looking for more of like a daily driver,
the 500, but what's really nice about Fortune Auto
is that all of their coilovers are modular.
And like I mentioned before, they are a lifetime product.
So if you start off with your 500 series,
and you're like hey, I kinda wanna track my car more,
it was a lot of fun, but I don't wanna buy
a whole new set of coilovers.
You can send your 500 series in,
Fortune Auto will take them, they'll disassemble them,
they'll upgrade them into the five 10 series.
So we are gonna leave these guys right here.
I'm gonna take this box and I'm gonna set it there.
So this, I know what you're thinking,
Gels why is there like, an appendage
coming off of this coilover?
Well, I will open this up and I will show you.
So much bubble wrap.
So this, ladies and gentlemen,
is Fortune Autos PRO two way coilover.
So then, how we were talking about
the 500 and the five 10 series being only
single adjustable but with rebound and compression,
this changes that.
You're getting all of your advantages,
not from only the 500 and the five 10,
you're taking that, adding it into this coilover,
and you're also relocating your damper fluid
into a external reservoir.
So this external reservoir,
which a lot of you might have questions for,
may have never seen before,
this brings a lot of the damper fluid
away from the hot parts of the car.
So, like your wheels and your brakes
that see a lot of heat during like, track use,
is gonna disperse into the body of your coilover.
Now what this does, is it takes that fluid and relocates it.
So it stays nice and cool, it doesn't get damper fade,
and all that other not fun stuff that comes with it.
So, with it being two way adjustable,
the PRO two way coilover, you have not only
your damping adjustment here
on the top of the coilover itself,
but you also have an adjustment knob here
on top of that external reservoir.
So, in turn what this allows you to do
is not only adjust rebounding and compression,
but you can adjust them independently
so you have your rebound independent from your compression.
So you can adjust both, the damping for your rebound
and the damping for your compression.
You can really dial it in.
And they actually do come with a tuning guide
to kinda help you out with that.
So, the PRO two way series coilover is meant
specifically for track use.
You're probably not gonna enjoy these
a whole hell of a lot if you're taking these out
to go get your groceries, to go out on a date or something.
Probably not the best, because your girlfriend's
probably gonna complain about the ride the entire time.
So, if you're looking to track your car,
if you're looking to build a race oriented car,
like a time attack car, or something like that,
the PRO two way and even the PRO three way,
which it doesn't look like we have here
which is understandable because that is an expensive (beep).
But, the PRO two way, you're looking right around $3,800
to get into a set of these,
but you're getting what you pay for.
So, I don't know how many of you guys are out there
looking to do that, but they have the option
to do that as well.
So, all in all, absolutely fantastic coilovers
if you're looking to do some performance driving,
if you're looking to get a lot of function out of your car.
And of course, it's gonna be, in the long run,
your best option as far as money-wise goes
'cause you can start off with a 500 series coilover
and work all the way up to the PRO two way coilover.
With the modular design being upgradable, being rebuildable
all that sort of stuff, completely customizable.
You can upgrade to Swift Springs,
Hyperco springs for you Euro guys if you'd like that.
Anything you need, Fortune Auto can do for you.
And of course, like I said, Fortune Auto,

is live on our website, fitmentindustries.com.
Head over there, we can answer any questions for you,
pick out the right set of Fortune Auto coilovers for you.
But that's gonna wrap it up for today.
