Hey there! If you're looking to upgrade your BMW's suspension, let me tell you about the Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers. These bad boys come equipped with the Generation 6 Internal Floating Piston, which is not just lighter but also features a low-drag Teflon band. What does that mean for you? Well, it drastically cuts down on stiction, so your dampers can react way faster to those bumps and dips in the road. You’ll feel the difference when you’re carving through corners or just cruising around town.
Now, let’s talk about the seals—they've improved them so they now have 40% less drag than previous models. This means better control and less hysteresis, which is just a fancy way of saying your inputs are translated into action much more effectively. The new seals use a special Buna rubber compound that strikes a solid balance between reliability and performance. Since the shaft seal is the most critical part of the shock, this upgrade is a game changer for both quality and performance.
And here’s where it gets really interesting: the shims. These little disks are responsible for regulating fluid flow in the damper. The way they’re designed can alter the damper’s force profile by a whopping 25% with just a tiny change in thickness or diameter. Fortune Auto uses high-grade Sandvik steel for their shims, ensuring that your dampers are precision matched, which is crucial for a consistent ride.
Another cool feature is the bright dip anodizing process on the aluminum parts. This not only gives them that shiny, eye-catching look but also protects against corrosion and oxidation. So, you can expect these coilovers to keep looking sharp for years. Plus, the revised jetting and expanded adjustment range let you fine-tune your ride like never before—each click is noticeable and comes with a satisfying sound to let you know you made a change.
Fortune Auto has really nailed it with the strength of the piston shafts too. They’ve found a great balance between hardness and malleability after loads of R&D. You’ll also appreciate the reinforced brackets and mounting points for added rigidity. Most setups come with OEM brake line tabs welded directly to the lower mounts, making installation a breeze and keeping things neat.
One of my favorite features is the digressive piston technology. It gives you a ton of low-speed force, translating your inputs into razor-sharp control. And when you hit those rough patches, the force “blows off” to give you a smooth ride while still gripping the road like a champ.
