DIGRESSIVE* All Fortune Auto shocks use a superior DIGRESSIVE piston. This technology allows for stiff, progressive (linear) damping at low stroke speeds. This helps to control vehicle body motion like roll, dive and squat. However at fast stroke speeds (i.e. high speed bumps) the suspension is kept supple in response to bumps and irregularities in the road.

Check out the Features:
• Digressive 50mm piston mono tube design (57mm case diameter) providing superior shockabsorber performance (all others on the market use 44-45mm pistons and 50mm case diameters - much smaller).
• Custom valving is done to suit your car and your needs, whether it is for comfort, sport, or race applications.
• All shocks are dyno tested before being sent to you, they also provide you with the Dyno graph sheet!
• IP Synethic Shock oil for superior heat dissipation - We use 5w for most street applications and up to 10w for race
• Separate Nitrogen Chamber (floating) pressurized to 100-200psi depending on application and valving - This prevents cavitation in the shock oil
• USA made Shim stacks (5 shims usually used) depends on valving and application.
• Double O-ringed piston housing lids. 2 o-rings are used in case of o ring failures. We also use high performance o rings that are designed to be used with synthetic oil in high temperature environments.
• Floating ball nitrogen refill cap. This allows us to easily rebuild or revalve the coilover. Its also allows one to refill the nitrogen chamber with out taking apart the shock. This design is only found on fortune shocks.
• Compression blow off valve (for berms or rumble strips)
• S45C Chrome Piston Rod
• 30-way adjustable dampers
• Pillowball mounts - Noise Free! will last 50,000km before needing to be replaced
• Forged aluminum locking collars
• Cold Forged aluminium bottom mounts
• Height adjustment independent of preload
• ISO 9002 certification

***Every Fortune Auto coilover is extensively dyno tested and matched with in specifications to insure a consistent and uniform set of coilovers. This rigorous testing has earned their ISO certification.

Furthermore we incorporate features only found on our coilovers such as Seamless stainless steel monotubes, Forged lower mounts & proprietary nitrogen gas chambers

Been having great feed back on the ride quality of Fortune Autos.
Having their ultra digressive valving makes for a nice ride over bumpy roads.
But still retaining all the performance gains for track use!

We have had guys swap out their JICs & Teins and saying their ride is now 10x better!

These cant be beaten for the price & specifications!

Been having great reviews from Customers on these.
They all cant stress how much the ride quality has improved over their previous coilovers.
These have been compared to the following brands - Ohlins & Cusco.
The shocks on the Fortune Autos will ride the bumps on NZ roads perfectly due to their digressive pistons.

Digressive piston technology FTW!

We will be able to get SW20 MR2 ones in a few months. These were designed for ATS in USA, specifically valved to suit the MR2. Development on these took quite a while but they managed to get them to ride perfect.

These will always have better shock valving. As Fortune Auto spend enormous amounts of time on development for the Digressive valving.

We can do them in our MRP coilovers.
Fortune Auto dont have a listing for the earlier Aristo. Only the later model one.

Pic of the Corolla versions with Swift spring upgrade!

Just installed into my car and what a difference!!
The digressive valving is something! feels like i've added aero to the F&R of the car. Wasn't expecting it to be this much better than what I was running.

Cant wait to hit the track next!
