Alright, let’s talk about the Fortune Auto Generation 6 Internal Floating Piston. If you’re serious about your ride, you’ll appreciate how much lighter this setup is compared to the previous versions. The new low-drag Teflon band is a real game changer; it cuts down on stiction, meaning your dampers can react way quicker to bumps and dips in the road. No more sluggish responses when you hit a pothole or take a corner too fast.
One of the standout features is the Fortune Auto 500 series damper shaft seals. These bad boys have 40% less drag than what we used to offer, which translates to less hysteresis and way better control over your inputs. The seals are crafted from a specially formulated Buna rubber compound, striking that perfect balance between reliability and performance. Since the shaft seal is the heart of the shock, having a stronger seal means you’re getting a boost in both quality and performance.
Now, let’s dive into the shims. These little deflection disks are crucial for regulating fluid flow and generating the force inside the damper. If you’re thinking about re-valving your shocks, keep in mind that even the tiniest differences in shim diameter and thickness can alter the damper’s force profile by as much as 25%. That’s why we use high-grade shim material made from Sandvik steel to ensure that your dampers are perfectly matched.
On the outside, the bright dip anodizing process really enhances the aluminum's integrity. It gives the 6061 forged aluminum parts a shiny finish that not only looks great but also protects against corrosion and oxidation. You want your gear to last, right? This finish helps keep everything looking sharp for years.
When it comes to adjustments, the revised jetting and increased range give you more precise control over damping. Each click you make has a noticeable impact, which you can actually hear. It’s that satisfying click that tells you you're making a difference.
Fortune Auto has done their homework on piston shaft strength. They’ve nailed down the right balance between hardness and malleability, which is essential for both safety and performance. Plus, they’ve reinforced brackets and mounting points, making everything more rigid and robust. Most setups even come with OEM brake line tabs welded directly to the lower mounts, which makes for a cleaner and safer installation.
The digressive piston technology is impressive, too. It allows for a ton of low-speed force, translating your driver inputs into sharp, precise control. But don’t worry—when the road gets rough, it “blows off” to give you a smooth ride while still maintaining grip.
