Default Thought on Fortune Auto 510 for the track?

Anybody using them? Don't seem too popular with the track guys, but seems like a good company. I was looking at these or the Ohlins. Both are about the same price. The car is mostly a track car. Not looking to break records, but want to tinker with the car a little.

Ohlins are 1000000x better

Especially with the new pricing, the Öhlins DFV are pretty much hands down the best track coilover (or all around for that matter) for any budget short of $5k. Shoot us a PM and we can get you our best pricing and help with the setup!

I have a dyno from my 510 Front a Rear. Does anyone have dynos for DFVs? I've had both. I think they are both great. If you can get DFVs cheaper buy them.

If you know how to shop though, you can find deals.

I just ordered at set of 510 @ 700/700. I've been running some old old DMP single adjustables this past year and they were pretty damn awesome but I just want to try something different.

FA has supposedly turned a new leaf in the past couple years so I wanted to give them a shot since its well over the 3k mark to get a set of custom valved DFV with modified rear lower perches mounts to get correct ride height for track use.

If you got their new Gen5 design I think you'll like them. Everyone who has driven my car tells me to never change it cause it feels amaze-balls

If you run Global Time Attack you can get a serious discount on Fortune Autos, but I would still buy the Ohlins DFVs.

I'm running the 510's on 14k/12k and another local guy is running the same. It's a great setup, i think it could use some better high speed dampening (i think?) but for a few bucks more i'd take a DFV with stiffer springs.

ohlins t the best street/track coil not the best track coil. They r too soft for the track. U need to have swift springs in them to have the preform the best. Never seen fortune auto with track guys and I compete in GTA in California.
