FS: Fortune Auto Comfort Series Coilovers with Swift Springs

Selling a used set of Fortune Auto 450 comfort Series Coilovers. I bought them around July 2013 from a maxima.org member. He had used it for about a year and said that he put around 2500 miles on them. I have put about 1500 miles on them since July, communing to school. I have purchased a second and I will be selling my maxima soon.

Coilovers specs:

44mm linear piston with 24 click of damping adjustment
Upgrade Swift Springs- 8kg front 6kg rear
Instruction and spanner wrenches included

I daily drove my max with the damping set at 12/14, front and rear- I was very satisfied with the ride comfort.
The springs do bind at times (which I found out is harmless and quite common with McPherson style suspension- but this did not bother me.

The previous owner also told me that the rear dampers had a slight scratch on them from scraping against the fork that holds them in place. When I had it them on my car, they did not scrape the sleeves anymore than the initial scrape from the initial installation by previous owner.

**** Price is $650 Obo.**** I prefer local pickup but I can ship them.
shipping fees extra.

I will put pictures as soon I have access to my laptop. Thanks for your time.

^^ the rear is on the lowest setting in the above picture i belive, but the front can be lowered much much more. Id imagine with bigger wheels id probably had to raise even the rear up a bit. Fortune auto is located in VA and yes im pretty sure they suggest rebuilt every 5 years or so but i guess it vary higher or lower, depending on the primary use.

So you mean you can't lower the rears at all anymore? I saw that there were space left to drop the collars more, but are they stuck there? Or just haven't tried lower?

Yea, I think there might be some threading left to further lower it, but my friend that did the install set the rear at that height and said we couldn't lower it much further. I think the rears you can't lower as much as the fronts. We might have not installed it properly. To err on the safe side, i said that that is the lowest you can go.
