If you’re looking to elevate your ride with some serious performance upgrades, the Fortune Auto Generation 6 Internal Floating Piston is where it’s at. This isn’t just another set of dampers; it’s a game changer. They've managed to shave off some weight while incorporating a low-drag Teflon band that really cuts down on stiction. What does that mean for you? Quicker reactions to shock forces, which translates to better handling when you hit those bumps or corners.

The new Fortune Auto 500 series damper shaft seals are a step up too, boasting 40% less drag than previous models. This means less hysteresis, giving you superior control over your inputs. And let’s talk about those seals—they’re crafted from a specially formulated Buna rubber compound, striking that sweet spot between reliability and performance. Since the shaft seal is the heart of the shock, having a stronger seal makes a huge difference in quality and performance.

Now, if you’re wondering about the shims, they’re not just some random disks. They play a crucial role in regulating fluid flow and generating force in the damper. Adjusting the "valving" or "re-valving" means swapping out shims, and let me tell you, even a thousandth of an inch can change the force profile by up to 25%. That’s precision engineering right there. The Generation 6 dampers use high-grade Sandvik steel for shims, ensuring that your shocks are perfectly matched for consistent performance.

And let’s not overlook the bright dip anodizing process. It’s more than just a shiny finish—this treatment enhances the integrity of the 6061 forged aluminum, protecting it from corrosion and oxidation. So, not only do your parts look sharp, but they’ll stay looking that way for years.

With revised jetting and an increased adjustment range, you get a broader spectrum for fine-tuning your damper control. Each click in the adjustment range packs a punch, providing a distinct audible sound that lets you know you’re making a change.

Fortune Auto has really nailed the balance between shaft hardness and malleability with their piston shafts, thanks to some serious R&D. They’ve reinforced brackets and mounting points for added strength, and most applications come with OEM brake line tabs welded directly to the lower mounts. This means a cleaner and safer installation for you.

The digressive piston technology is where the magic happens. It translates low-speed forces into razor-sharp control, while still giving you that smooth ride quality over rough terrain. It’s like having the best of both worlds.
