i dont think there are more than 300k people looking for videos in this genre. its not like these guys are car throttle or anything. their only hope is that the cross country series blows up bigly.
Agree, but they have grown substantially in the past year that I have been watching. It happening, just slowly (but faster than others in the same respect)
Matt is a great dude. He's helped me out lots of times when I was building a G37 for Time Attack, and now for my 350Z drift car. Great guy, great company.
Damn it, gonna cause me to dump some more into the Evo and switch from oem bilsteins with robispecs. Great video as always guys and always love any Evo content!
Very informative, and cool to see something like this built more or less locally. Come to think of it, I'm going to be near Richmond next weekend for a track day....hmm.
I love your car! I have a Wicked White 14’ Evo MR, all stock except for a catback exhaust currently. I’ll probably modify it more later in it’s life, when I’ve finished enjoying it stock(it’s great out of the box, unlike most STi’s 😉); I’ve always been an “OEM plus” type of mods guy. it’s cool to see the same car in previous generation form. They’d look awesome together in a photo shoot, or... my garage. 😀
Fortune Auto is the only brand as far as I know, who matches the shocks based on dyno result before shipping them out even for the budget ones. Other brands - including the reputable ones - don't do that for their budget line (I'm talking about coilovers under $3k).
I've had my eye's on a set of fortune auto coils since i had my aw11 then zzt231 now zzw30, i've seen then come out with so many other coilovers for other chassis and still only have 1 toyota chassis for the 510 version coilover and the FRS/BRZ.
Your cool man, so cool, yesterday morning I was trying to find this one video I loved from your Chanel with I believe it was a Silvia maybe set for back roads and drift? It's been a while but please drop the link if you can, I wanna re watch this video
I like your videos, but I'd prefer that before putting a video like this where it's segmented out you would consider making this a longer, but complete video in which you put the 510s on, and give your thoughts or something similar just to make the video feel like t didn't end half way through
I’m torn between kw V3 on my brz or FA510 with swift springs. Either way I think I’ll be doing fortune auto suspension on my 86 Corolla in the future which would be amazing!
I want to grow up so that I can have a car. I'm 16. These junks of metal are so precious for us. Yeah they take us from point A to B, but they do so much more. Every car is made by heart, They should be taken care of more than common people do.
steve mcmillan unfortunately, I can't. I'd be surprised if I get a job anywhere, it's because of cultural/traditional stuff that's different from your American/European lifestyle also, here in India, people give you a weird look if you're a child working. Also, school plus tuitions leave no time for any sort of jobs.
If you want it, you want it. Do whatever you can to get whatever car you desire, fuk what everyone else thinks work your hours and save your money and you wont be disappointed, i promise you that.
MJ Wild I know this is a week old comment and I’m not Gears and Gasoline, but I think the main reason why most car people don’t like FWD cars is because they are generally slower, a RWD/AWD car will always be faster (everything being equal). Also you don’t get the fun tail-happiness of a RWD car or the brutal acceleration of an AWD car. I guess there is also the stigma against FWD cars due to the mutual agreement between all car guys that rice, which usually contains FWD cars (not the food, I’m Asian and love rice), and Prius are bad. The only good I can think of is that they are generally cheaper because they only have one driven axle, and they will be able to go through snow better than a RWD car, but they won’t be as good as an AWD car (but again it will be cheaper than an AWD car)
Ashton Aimes Thanks for the information. And I understand what you’re saying. Your information is on point. I’m thinking between the ‘18 WRX or the ‘18 SI. I can’t decide on which one. The WRX has AWD, which is good, but has the same engine for almost 15 years, I think, give or take. And the new SI is has LSD, limited slip-differential, which is good also. And a new turbo engine. That’s why I asked that question on why FWD is good/bad, kinda way.
MJ Wild I personally (out of those two) would choose the WRX, but it’s not my car, so you choose what you want. Not choosing those two, I would go away from new and try and find something slightly older, for example the e9x m3 (which have depreciated from their MSRP of somewhere above $50,000 to below the ~$25,000 ‘18 WRX, which is why I love German cars, they depreciate like crazy, you can even find some 996 generation 911’s for around 25,000 as well, although everyone hates the 996 generation because of the headlights) which still has all the creature comforts and technology of new cars as they were made from 2007-2013 (I’m guessing that’s why you want new) and it has 4 seats, RWD fun (if you live in the north, this is completely useless, but I don’t know where you live), a 400hp v8, high rev limit, and the choice of a manual or automatic. Bonus M street cred as well. Also, CAE makes a shifter for the e9x cars, their shifters cost $1,000, but their shifters are the best use of a $1,000 for any car they make a shifter for. Just watch a video of it shifting, such a short throw and extremely precise.
MJ Wild the new wrx has a new engine, the sti still has the same 15 year old engine. So if the engine was your only concern then you should get the wrx and tune it to the likes of an sti
Malik Moon Ohh, okay. Thanks for the info. I want to get the WRX but it’s expensive. That’s why I’m debating whether to get the new SI or the WRX. I’m just gonna conclude myself to whatever car I get to have the lowest payments, then it’s done.
I thought FA was junk but the fact that they test them and then adjust to match is pretty sick. No China junk is doing that. My attitude towards them has changed.
Your experience with lowering springs and from I heard with everyone else makes me never want to get them and just get coilovers. It doesn't make sense
This doesn't have anything to do with the video. I just need to vent off. My W124 is fucking dead. It was slow, it was heavy, but it was fun as fuck to drive. And it saved my life today. I'm beat, I just want to cry until I fall asleep
TaylorGang 44 the FA guy needs to work on his confidence in their product. He comes off as weak. He should be assertive if he's believes in their product.
why do people buy exspensive cars Why do we spend so much on cars How loud can a car be Can u help me with my science fair i need a idea THESE ANSWERS NEED TO BE ANSWERS
that last question should yield some interesting results for very little research. There is definitive data there. The first two questions are questions you would be asking based on statistical trends of actual data. What trends of data is up to you depending on how you want to craft your findings.
Thank you for stopping by, you’re going to love the 510s
Everyone wish our Honorary Intern/Fortune Auto's Real Employee Devin a happy happy birthday!
Happy Bday!
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy birthday! 🎊🎉
I hope you are the guy to break the piñata!!!
Every photogram of the video could make for a wallpaper, that’s how good is the video
It’s been said a thousand times but you guys deserve more subs and views
i dont think there are more than 300k people looking for videos in this genre. its not like these guys are car throttle or anything. their only hope is that the cross country series blows up bigly.
Agree, but they have grown substantially in the past year that I have been watching. It happening, just slowly (but faster than others in the same respect)
About damn time Ben!!!! You're gonna love the 510s. It's voodoo how a suspension that is stiff enough for proper track use can eat a nasty bump.
Eric DeWitt my body is ready to experience this black magic.
Nothing is more sexier than Ben's Evo
Finally! The Evo finally gets what it needed lol!
Great vid guys! Top notch production work!
Matt is a great dude. He's helped me out lots of times when I was building a G37 for Time Attack, and now for my 350Z drift car. Great guy, great company.
So insightful! Awesome job!!
Really enjoyed seeing the depth of testing and tuning involved when engineering authentic equipment.
You folks are increadible, such a high quality content, the video on itself, music, the overall dynamic... Just beautiful! A peace of art.
It’s great to see you putting companies out there. I mean, we all know his was a huge advertisement but I’m not complaining!
Hard work pays off
I'm now looking into getting fortune auto coilovers for my EP3 Type R, the craftsmanship in them looks unmatched
Killer video production dude... like. Damn. Im impressed with your story telling. Nice work!
Damn it, gonna cause me to dump some more into the Evo and switch from oem bilsteins with robispecs. Great video as always guys and always love any Evo content!
When I see a gears and gasoline video I know it’s going to be quality
Very informative, and cool to see something like this built more or less locally. Come to think of it, I'm going to be near Richmond next weekend for a track day....hmm.
This is dope. I’ve been thinking about getting the Fortune Auto 500s. This video was very insightful!
I love your car! I have a Wicked White 14’ Evo MR, all stock except for a catback exhaust currently. I’ll probably modify it more later in it’s life, when I’ve finished enjoying it stock(it’s great out of the box, unlike most STi’s 😉); I’ve always been an “OEM plus” type of mods guy. it’s cool to see the same car in previous generation form. They’d look awesome together in a photo shoot, or... my garage. 😀
Now that's quality control 👍
Repping that Krispy merch!
you should get it corner balanced after the coilover install!
Armando Castillo Agreed, Ben should definitely get the car corner balanced
Fortune Auto is the only brand as far as I know, who matches the shocks based on dyno result before shipping them out even for the budget ones. Other brands - including the reputable ones - don't do that for their budget line (I'm talking about coilovers under $3k).
I kinda wish I got the fortune autos over the bc coils I just got.. you should do a video on how bc coils are made!
nice to see that video
Have some on order for my 8th gen Civic Si, can't wait
Nice lancer
Daaamn that Krispy merch!!!
I've had my eye's on a set of fortune auto coils since i had my aw11 then zzt231 now zzw30, i've seen then come out with so many other coilovers for other chassis and still only have 1 toyota chassis for the 510 version coilover and the FRS/BRZ.
Awesome video. Beautiful car.
Good thing I live in VA
Love you videos! Editing is awesome
best car videos ever
keep up the great work
Amazing content! Greetings from Argentina
Great vid!
Another great video love the color of the springs question do they also do air suspension?
i love you guys
Your cool man, so cool, yesterday morning I was trying to find this one video I loved from your Chanel with I believe it was a Silvia maybe set for back roads and drift? It's been a while but please drop the link if you can, I wanna re watch this video

OMG I need to take my build here. Problem is, I'm still a few years away to buy a car I wanna work on.
I’m torn between kw V3 on my brz or FA510 with swift springs. Either way I think I’ll be doing fortune auto suspension on my 86 Corolla in the future which would be amazing!
Is this before or after he actually got the frame straightened (finally)
Do a before and after G-force test on turns
Hooray!
Love your videos
Hi, Have you had any issues with those shocks getting hydraulic leaks, if so how did you remedy that?
I gave OE suspension that lowered with swift down spring, the down spring will mass up the OE billstain?
I want to grow up so that I can have a car.
I'm 16. These junks of metal are so precious for us. Yeah they take us from point A to B, but they do so much more. Every car is made by heart, They should be taken care of more than common people do.
Zump you don't have to wait, get a job start saving work a shit ton of hours, thats how i bought a 350z when i was 17
Got a 02 wrx at 16.. start looking around, get a job, talk to your parents and good luck man.. that special day might come earlier than you think :)
steve mcmillan unfortunately, I can't.
I'd be surprised if I get a job anywhere, it's because of cultural/traditional stuff that's different from your American/European lifestyle also, here in India, people give you a weird look if you're a child working.

I feel you im 16 and im on the hustle for a 2004 e55
If you want it, you want it. Do whatever you can to get whatever car you desire, fuk what everyone else thinks work your hours and save your money and you wont be disappointed, i promise you that.
4g63 sounds super good though.
ARE YOU STUART PRICE FROM THE HANGOVER MOVIE?! :O
I want an Evo too 😞. Another reason for giving working hard, everyday. Awesome work, guys 😊
Can you guys make a video on why FWD cars get hated on? What are the goods/ bads about them?
MJ Wild

Sad, they don't make a coilover set for the Fiesta.
License plate an Archer reference?
How about rally suspension?
cool😊👌
what lens or len(s) used for this shoot! looks so nice!
please please do the get to know Tavarish and Mr. bumper to bumper warrenty (doug demuro)
Finally it gets more low
Racer_ 7070 more low? Not lower?
Summoner Arthur It's something like an expression.
Oh, alright then
Lowering springs breaks oem struts
could anybody recommend a cheap awd car that is fun but can also do well in snow?
Why do you remind me so much of Ed helms
I was wondering how much it would cost to get a pair of coilovers
Do a first gen teggy
love finding out businesses are half an hour away from me
BC Racing FTW!!!!
Where is your sti wagon?
It's a long story, but there will be a video on it eventually. Don't worry!
I thought FA was junk but the fact that they test them and then adjust to match is pretty sick. No China junk is doing that. My attitude towards them has changed.
Stance everything
How are coilovers made? The answers will shock you
Is that krispy's t-shirt?
Patrick Miki Chris is a dime
Never do lowering springs and expect performance
Jrz or bust.
Merica
Hello
Your experience with lowering springs and from I heard with everyone else makes me never want to get them and just get coilovers. It doesn't make sense
sharpemang would definitely recommend coils rather than lowering springs.
I ran eibachs on konis (adjustable) in the past and loved how my car handled but next time around coilovers for sure.
Sadness is when you browse the site and come to find no Hyundai Love. :'(
I attend automotive classes and my teacher doesnt even know what coilovers are
1,053
Full soft and full hard 😂
Count how many times you say "uh" or "um"
I crashed my car 3 hours ago. I feel like I lost a child. I want to cry so badly it hurts. Fuck
This doesn't have anything to do with the video. I just need to vent off. My W124 is fucking dead. It was slow, it was heavy, but it was fun as fuck to drive. And it saved my life today. I'm beat, I just want to cry until I fall asleep
I hope you're not planning to street drive on a track setup. If you do you will destroy every suspension component your car has.
Why no porn music over Dyno?
JDM Dragon my greatest regret
Ur car looks tired
He says too much "uuuh"
TaylorGang 44 the FA guy needs to work on his confidence in their product. He comes off as weak. He should be assertive if he's believes in their product.
1st
*comments that he's first no one cares likes own comment
Joe Slater any problem?
Hayen Ali no it's quite entertaining
Joe Slater not for anyone who is hearing you hating
Hayen Ali "hating" chill out mate
why do people buy exspensive cars
Why do we spend so much on cars
How loud can a car be
Can u help me with my science fair i need a idea
THESE ANSWERS NEED TO BE ANSWERS
you should probably pick another idea, because these questions are all answered by opinions, not facts. You need to find facts for Science Fairs.
i can answer this one simple word..... Love!
there is no right answer for your questions, this is simply our passion thats it.
