Has anyone with a ZL1/1LE tried the Fortune Coilover kit? Curious on the feedback as it is competitively priced and comes with Camber plates.

I haven't used them yet on the Camaro. I had a set on a WRX I had and they were great. The swift spring is awesome.

Also they use a digressive piston now which is the style of piston that is used in these other higher dollar coilovers.

I would wait on the fortune auto kit because kw is releasing the club sport for the 6th gen. And who doesn't love kw's life of the vehicle warranty.

I will most likely go with Vorshlag or I saw that Detroit speed has a nice set up also.

i always liked suspension and wanting great stuff till a friend came along in a 280hp 350z with oem shocks and some lowering springs and destroys about 90% of the people on track! after that...OEM is great for me.
