Thread: Test fitted a prototype set of B13 coilovers

I sincerely appreciate all the expertise that is being contributed to this thread.

Reading, attempting to absorb and learn.

Rock on gentlemen.

that is a universal race damper that cost about 150 a piece so that s 600 just for dampers and you would need custom bodies and top hats and camber plates. the fortunes are tuned to each car and spring rate so such a broad adjust ability would not benefit anyone and most people would adjust their cars WAY out of spec.

Suscribed. definitely interested

Wow... I like this...a lot! And the B13 chassis lives on with aftermarket support alive and well.

subbed!!!

been really busy this week with running my business and doing an SR swap on a s13. waiting on the engineer to do the drawings for the final camber plate and rear top hat design so we can get it CNC milled. also buying tires this week so i can show some b13 aggressive wheel fitment with these coilovers.

jjkamikaze You should prob take down that pic of the dyno with different shocks. If someone from one of the other companies see's it things could get ugly. Unless those were your shocks that you took in to get dynoed . I'm getting the 500's for my S14, prob going to pony up for the swift springs too. Terry says it totally transforms the shock vs the standard spring.

I dynoed those shocks and some others myself while trying to find the best damper to build my coilovers around. And I don't work for, or have any interest in, any of the companies I have discussed. I'm just showing my findings. Those companies don't want people to see shock dynos for a reason but I feel my fellow car enthusiasts deserve to be informed. The progress dyno and the fortune dyno looks great and I praised them so they can't be upset, as for the other companies they shouldn't be selling such junk.

as for the Swift springs. I would definitely upgrade to those if you can afford it, regardless the brand of coilovers you buy. All the affordable coilovers on the market come with springs that are nothing special. Swift springs are manufactured out of far superior materials in Japan and are very well engineered. The "barrel" shape and fewer coils per length alone make them superior.

Im not useing swift springs on my car because my main goal is to be very low and stiff without breaking the bank. When and if fortune makes a final production B13 application for sale the option for a Swift spring upgrade will be available for sure, also you could upgrade to a 510 series shock if you really care about maximum performance.

Good deal then. I'll save your plot for use later.

new 510 shock dyno out of the box.
