Alright, let’s talk about the Fortune Auto Generation 6 Internal Floating Piston. If you’re serious about your ride, you’ll appreciate the upgrades we’ve packed into this thing. First off, it’s lighter than its predecessors, which means quicker reactions to bumps and dips in the road. Thanks to a low-drag Teflon band, stiction is pretty much a thing of the past. This means your dampers can respond faster to shock forces, giving you a smoother ride.

Now, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty. The Fortune Auto 500 series damper shaft seals have been revamped and now boast 40% less drag compared to earlier models. What does that mean for you? Less hysteresis and way better control over your inputs. The new seals are made from a specially formulated Buna rubber that strikes a sweet balance between reliability and performance. Since the shaft seal is the heart of the shock, having a stronger seal really amps up both quality and performance.

Moving on to shims—these little deflection disks are crucial. They cover the port holes on the piston and help regulate fluid flow, which is what gives a damper its force. The art of "valving" or "re-valving" involves using different shims to get the right resistance and damping for your specific setup. Even tiny variations in shim diameter or thickness can swing the damper's force profile by as much as ±25%. So, consistency here is key, and the Generation 6 dampers use high-grade Sandvik steel for precision-matched dampers.

And let’s not forget about the bright dip anodizing process. It not only gives the aluminum a killer shine but also protects those 6061 forged parts from corrosion and oxidation, keeping them looking sharp for years. Plus, the revised jetting and expanded adjustment range allow for finer tuning of your damper control. Each click you make is not just a small change; it’s a noticeable shift in damping force, complete with an audible click to let you know you’re doing something.

Fortune Auto has really nailed the balance between shaft hardness and malleability. After a lot of testing, they’ve come up with a design that keeps things safe while maximizing performance. They’ve also reinforced brackets and mounting points for added strength and rigidity. Most setups come with OEM brake line tabs welded right onto the lower mounts, making installation a breeze and keeping everything nice and tidy.

The digressive piston technology is a game changer, allowing for impressive low-speed force that translates your steering inputs into precise control. But don’t worry—you still get a comfortable ride that handles rough surfaces like a champ.
