Nice additions! The Fortune Auto Coilover's are way underrated. Good choice. I just picked up a set of BWS 500's with Swift Springs which are basically Fortune Auto 500's.




It really sucks all your photos are missing thanks to Photobucket!

That looks like a nice setup.

Ya these and Fortunes are really nice quality Coilover's. I'm very impressed with the build quality. I had to send a damper in for warranty so it will be a while before I install them thou.

Wow. Lots 'o progress. I'm not familiar with those coil overs. Mean looking color! #sskftw

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous E46 fanatic

Thanks man! Lots of progress indeed. Not too many people have heard about them, but I did my research before I purchased them. Nothing but good reviews.

Nice. Look forward to hearing what you think of the car after all the parts are installed

I'm pretty anxious on trying everything out as well. Just need to get my fenders rolled. Tune the coilovers and get an alignment

Good stuff!

Thank you!

Yer gonna love that shifter... headers will make a big difference once you get the tune.. Great progress!

It already feels pretty great. Drove the car around the block for a bit. I'm still debating on what tune to get. Any recommendations on company?

I love what I'm seeing in this thread. Well done.

Yeah man! Photobucket sucks! I had to create a flickr account. I'll upload them again when I have time.
And the quality on the fortunes looks pretty impressive so far. I've heard nothing but good things about them so I'll let you know how they feel.

Second is this beauty =) Gruppe M kevlar intake. I've always wanted one so I said why not even though I have the AFE.

And last but not least, finally installing my Bimmerbrakes V1 headers and TMS SAP delete. Waiting on my tune to get here from Market motorworks.

You're going to like the headers

Thanks dude! Took me forever to find the kevlar version and for cheap lol

You're goi g to like the headers

I hope so! lol I heard you lose bottom end torque because of back pressure, but I'm hoping the tune helps.

I believe it's a gain across the whole powerband. The stock headers are pretty restrictive.
