I get that! Lol. I was looking more for what he said. So Negative camber away from the engine, towards the fenders.



Thanks man. That is what I assumed but I want to make sure before I put them back on the car.

Not quite. From looking down to the engine, the camber moves to the left and the right.

On your passenger side. You will want the camber plates sliding toward the engine. Bringing your wheels in like this / , introducing negative camber, compared to, if you were to have the camber plate going toward the fender, your wheel would do \ , or positive camber. Which you don't want.

The same thing for the driver side. You will want to bring the plate toward the engine. So the driver side wheel sits like \ instead of like /

That pic is of driver side. So if I wanted negative camber, I'd slide the plate towards the engine side pushing the wheels out \

I think the max you can get out of the Fortune Auto fronts is -3° camber.

Thanks man. I am running 18×9 rpf1's with 255/35/18 Nitto NT05's. I'm trying to make them fit better while lowered. Coils are going back on Friday! Thank you so much dude. Game changer!

Yea that's what I remember reading was -3°. How much camber do you run upfront?

Beautiful. I'm running almost the same combo, 255/40/18 BFG Sport Comp II.

My camber is still set to zero. I'm going to run -3° front and rear so I can get a little more lows.

Oh man. I was thinking -2. Did you have to pull your fenders or roll them? That 40 sidewall is pretty damn meaty!

I haven't touched fenders yet bro. I don't know if I will have to running -3°, but if I do, I'll roll them. I like the 40 series meaty look. Nothing against the 35 series. Had them several times over, great tires. I just prefer the meaty look.

Would I be able to buy the top hats alone to swap out with stock on my b14s?

Hey guys sorry to bump up this thread again but i have a few concerns. I just got my fortunes installed today at a shop with front endlinks. These coils were used with 8k miles on them as well. I love everything about them so far but i have a clunking noise coming from the front just like the others. These coils came with the radial bearings on them too. Not sure if the endlinks have anything to do with it but if i hit a decent size bump it makes a loud clunk and makes it seem like its hurting the car. Anyone else have this clunking problem or found a solution to the fronts?

 

[armytim9760]

I have ksport and have the same noise. I'm not sure if it's the same, but ksport says it's normal since there are no rubber mounts like on the factory struts.

Thats weird...it seems that the issue may be the endlinks but im not too sure i have to check. If anyone else can chime in please do

 

[jonnyauST]

I just installed my summer tires and noticed my passenger side camber was a lot more then the drivers side. I will fix it tomorow but I just want to know if there is a better way to tighten the camber bolts so it doesn't happen again?

Im a noob with coilovers especially while having a separate shock and spring in the rear. How do you adjust the ride height in the rear? Through the shock or spring? Please if someone can provide advice on how to do this properly.

The spring sits on an adjustable seat. It is threaded so you can make height adjustments from the bottom typically like in the picture

 

[NYBoostedST]

Thanks for the response...can u adjust the height throught the shocks too? There are threads on there too.

 

[UnfocusedST]

You cannot adjust the height from the shock. The adjustment on the shock allow you you don't get to much drop in the rear and have the spring fall out.

[Phocst]

so I installed these coilovers and my rears are way off. My left rear is as low as possible on the collar and my right rear is more than half way up yet the right rear is way lower than the other. I doubt that flipping the springs or shocks around would fix this since they are supposed to be the same. OR do i just keep adjusting to get them even because they seem way more off then they should be.

 

[UnfocusedST]

They should be even. I'm thinking you might have one of the factory rubber isolators still in place.

Another happy Fortune owner here.

Just need to do some fine tuning to adjust side to side. I want to swap over my adjustable rear camber/toe arms from my old focus and then I'll get an allignment.

Installation sucked but that is typical Ford issues; front strut removal from knuckle and then reinstalling the rear LCA bolt

 

[freakin_elrod]

I don't think I've posted my setup here, but I too am another happy owner of Fortune Auto coilovers.
My setup is their 510 variation and I'm running 10k springs in the front and 12k rears. This is NOT something that they offer off the shelf to the general public, but they will build you dampers like mine with any spring rate your heart desires.
