How Coilover Suspension Is Made - Fortune Auto Factory Tour

[@Razersurf]

This channel is by far the most underrated automotive channel out there! Such quality consecutive content by genuinely nice guys! Hopefully you'll get more noticed in time :)

[@Ellwood76]

theyre canadian, of course theyre nice

[@MRMAN-wb1tv]

*Been researching for the right coil overs for like 2 months, Fortune Auto keeps popping up, and I click on this video and first thing I see is a 2nd Gen GS300, the car I have.*

[@mpa1931]

I just installed a set of 500s a week ago been very pleased so far, and it's good to know how much love and care goes into building them.

[@jimchris2272]

Love this video, no loud music no unnecessary editing, no shit, just pure information

[@Saugusari11]

guys, I want to thank you. For your videos and in depth review of many things that are tightly connected to racing and modifying cars in a such way that it is really enjoyable to watch few videos of 20mins and not get tired of it. Keep on doing what you are doing and I hope to see more from you :)

[@samdefoe1043]

Yes another factory tour 👍

[@Rixter1455]

Fortune Auto really upped their game over the years. Glad to see the factory!

[@tomr1107]

Nice, i remember when fortune first came on the scene. I could have bought their 500 series for like 600 bucks. Too late now lol. Nice to see everything assembled in the USA and the ability to rebuild and revalve for different set ups. Wish i could get a job there!

[@nickg4135]

I like how you can upgrade to all coilover systems without throwing out\selling the coilovers. Very cool and environmentally\pocket friendly too.

[@jasmy-canada]

We are in 2022 and I was looking for my new BRZ. Loved the video will order from them! Thanks for the tour video.

[@bigmikes2140]

Has there been a episode on track suspension setups? Shock, swaybars, pressures maybe spring changes effect and benefits on track

[@sohchx]

the drift track for RC cars at 4:30 My kind of shop right there!! LOL

[@NateTEHbutcher]

Best bang for your buck coil-overs, Loved the Generation 5's on my Focus ST and absolutely love the Gen 6 500s on my ND Miata.

[@tinhatrancher904]

Im getting the 500's for my 97 Nissan Maxima. Can't wait. Ordering from Fitment Industries Friday. Cheers

[@rotrmotr]

Hi Terry. I love my Fortune Auto 500 coilovers. Thank you for making a well engineered and quality product at a price that I can afford!

[@vongdong10]

Damn. No wonder they've got such a good reputation. Pretty cool that the shocks can be upgraded and even changed to suit a different model car.

[@tireflipper8000]

Can’t beat FA coil overs! Nice episode guys!

[@emiliodiaz3927]

Tech support is amazing no matter how dumb your question is they are really helpful

[@RobertKohut]

Wow! Nice stuff! Great "upgradability" too!! Great video!! Shows you get what you pay for, looks like top notch stuff!!

[@CoreyBroadstock]

Sneaky RC car drift track in the warehouse :P

[@grecoconduris6716]

Dam, now I want a Jag. Never thought I would say that.

[@davek3139]

car definitely looked nice!

[@staircast]

Love the exposure! Thanks Fortune Auto!

[@dshiznit148]

i just ordered a set of the 500 series with swift springs 3 weeks ago! my order has been on "label created" shipping statues for 5 days though. kind of odd idk if thats standard procedure

[@aaronbryan5095]

Hope Fortune Auto make some coilovers for the 2019 Toyota Corolla hatchback that Peter test drove.

[@BryceandKyle]

Love these series of videos! Very informative!

[@HeritageCarStyle]

Can't wait to upgrade to their 2 ways from my 510s now

[@diaz.rodolfo]

uh... what's raced on the production floor?

[@lunatic200]

16:46 might provide some insight ;)

[@isaacd101]

looks like RC drift track

[@MattGreenland]

How is Fortune Auto vs Ohlins DFV?

[@nameurk]

Matt Greenland affordable vs. unbeatable

[@sigmaprojects]

that's a good way to put it.

[@blackmkiv]

DFV is not unbeatable, it is a good mid-range piece for a dual duty car.

[@FronkG]

JRZ

[@oyurcha1]

Ohlins shocks have separate high speed and low speed dampening via their patented technology. Fortune auto do their best with standard and proven shock technology.

[@jjjjcruz]

Hmmm soooo if i get some strut tops to measure the bottom can be whatever i want?

[@ivanma206]

oooh! i been looking into this brand. thanks for this!

[@Mrquietstom2022]

Ugh....waiting a month for better coils than BC :-( ok...ill edit this after i get mines installed. Great Informative video!

[@kreparAZ]

So psyched for this !!!

[@victorpaliy9023]

Thanks

[@lemarseillais514]

As good as Ohlins or KW coilovers?

[@Synthwave89]

I wanna know this too

[@jameskannegieter8177]

You should go down and film some of the rc drifting that looks like goes on in their warehouse lol

[@Limeayy]

Wow, i didn't know they used Amsoils shock fluids

[@gbjoo8]

Why do they build the dampers the way like OEM where the damper will go to full lengt when not under load? The damper should damp and the spring take care of the "stretch" mowement, we are doing that on bikes and cars

[@danmadden1080]

Factory tours are great. :-)

[@kanishkaweerakoon4063]

4:34 is that a rc drift track ??? :D

[@speedacademy]

yessir, we did some drifting while we were there. You'll see it in a future episode :D

[@kanishkaweerakoon4063]

Can't wait!

[@ColeHannah]

fortune auto make forge motorsport coilovers? look similar imo

[@bobbyross2023]

What is the color on that Porsche 911, it's gorgeous!

[@alecparkes5036]

these are going on my ae92, being shipped already

[@MrMariomena]

How was the handling before and after installation

[@ghostofthedeep]

No I missed the beat drop that was my Jam what song was that

[@doripanda]

My Nissan has been wanting new coils for years.... Maybe next year lol

[@ltwracing]

Hey guys im about to pull the trigger on the Müller coilovers for my IS350. I've been subscribed & watching the channel religiously since y'all were in that garage. Any promo codes you have for fortune auto atm & should i purchase through turn 14? If not im buying them either way.

[@mehrabkabir2941]

did you ever buy them

[@ltwracing]

@@mehrabkabir2941 I did. I have since purchased an IS F & installed them on that car with increased spring rate.

[@t1995roger10]

I fucking love my fortune autos

[@rubensantana8601]

Keemstar that you?

[@jasonbrower1]

Connie Celica is going to be fast as fuck, boy.

[@mattteee2973]

So, assembled in the USA rather than made?

[@vomdeich1011]

You have to keep up in price competition! It seems like they found a way to get standardized parts in big enough numbers from 'elsewhere' to stock them for individual configuration. To me its better to have at least some jobs in the country for a product that works than being uncompetitive or leave everything to low cost countries. But you are right its a little bit marketing wank...

[@speedacademy]

Some of the components are made in the USA, others (like the pistons and other key internal components) are sourced from Sweden, while some of the simple aluminum pieces like the spring perch collars are sourced from Asia in order to keep costs down. We think they've done a really good job of balancing cost vs quality by sourcing parts in this way.

[@Gmachine231]

Where are their components made?

[@jeremiahhale5001]

Need to get me a set :)

[@loudmikemedia]

Nice

[@andyk9883]

Cool video what the hell was that crappy music during the shock build 😵

[@shadowzone2013]

I had no idea they were based in Virginia! Are they hiring lol 😆

[@jammaldonado9820]

What do they mean by 7k 8k?

[@Synthwave89]

Spring rates

[@doctahwhoopass285]

Holy fuck that guy is huge.

[@fr3ub]

Let's be honest , only a couple of custom coilover (highend) are assembled there, everything else is made and put together in Taiwan/China Where is the R&D? Impact gun on the shims .... never going to have two coilover identical

[@1aw369]

Yep, made in the same factory as a few other companies. Nothing wrong with it, and Iirc they do test them and assemble them but yeah.

[@sanchoMDB]

Yeah they’re dyno testing each damper before completing assembly so it’s getting gc checked within tolerance. It seems the only difference between fortune and higher end manufacturers is quality of materials.

[@fr3ub]

I thing they only assemble the rebuilds or revalving in house For the dyno : test several damper and match them two by two (3% mismatch is acceptable : exemple WP, 4.42, Donerre, Fournales, Reiger ...) Taiwan is okay, good machining, quality control, materials, just dont hide it. They actually make most of the power- air- hand tools for snapon and others

[@OggaDugga]

All FA coilovers come with a certificate of who built them and who did final inspection. It takes 3-4 weeks for even ship them from VA because they’re all built to order at their facility. Let’s be honest, all entry level coilovers cost between $7-1000 meanwhile these are about $1400 minimum.

[@saidtheblueknight]

You couldn't find any pants that don't have a whole right in the fly area to do a video?

[@speedacademy]

Dave's junk needs fresh air.

[@navdrum001]

2-way? I hear it’s “OK” if it’s in a 3-way....

[@sr20dett1000]

Why manufacturer your own springs just to sell the customer a better one?Why not save the money and material and just offer swift or hyperco?

[@nickray1694]

comfterbility

[@VEDEMRACING99]

You could say... That facility is pretty stiff!!

[@gwot]

If I still need an air tank, compressor and all the lines and fittings, and for the same price... I'll get full airbags. Nothing beats airbags for smoothness, adjustable spring rate, even wider range of lowering and lift, and there are bag companies that are track proven. Great for people who still don't trust proven airbags though.

[@FIXBROZ]

1st

[@howto-bk8ev]

So bad music but good video

[@kILLuMBuS]
