Fortune Auto Coilovers. Opinions?
Fortune Auto makes a set of Coilovers for the C5 but I can't find a single review on them. Is there anybody that has installed these on their car. Seems like a good coilover for the money. Hand assembly and they rebuild them aswell.

Have never heard of that company so hard to say anything about the quality. I personally would probably go with a known brand if I were looking to go with coil overs.

Fortune Auto has made a good name for itself in the past few years, and they do build a quality product. While I have not seen their coilovers on a C5, I have seen them on a few C6's. I would try to contact Formula Drift driver Dirk Stratton for someone who definitely has experience with them

And they're custom hand built/assembled stateside in Virginia including the dampers.
I had the same question and looked for more information for the Corvette application but found nearly no information.
For 2600$ you get their 510 series midrange track focused digressive unit with Swift springs, and they're a group of racers that track test their product.
I'm planning this jump after tax season so hopefully I'll be able to add to the info stream.
Where'd all the leaf spring advocates go on this thread? I'm surprised that nobody has added the "not designed to support the weight of the car" comment

I saw this video posted the other day, the only thing that is odd is their spring rates are higher in the front than the rear, and no actual pictures of what they look like on their web site.
F is 10 K = 560
R is 8 K = 448

We made contact with them based on some experience in other car makes.
I have a street C6 Z06 that currently has the Pfadt feather lights on them which I know little about. They clunk and I want to get a track day in so I talked to FA about the C6 stuff.
The basic deal is they are managing everything here - rebuilds, set up etc. but yes the parts are assumedly from Taiwan. Their top line - the 510 - seems to have some credibility so we may take the plunge and work with them.
Anyone with better info on the Pfadts feel free to chime in. I know it's not 'race car' level but CO's in the $2-$3 k range that offer actual improvements seem like a fair idea
