There's been some noise issues w/ BC, and a few reported w/ the Fortunes, Stance has just been released to the market and the KSport has good reviews but a small sample size. It's a pretty wide open choice TBH. If your budget is limited to under $1k I'd go KSport, if you can spend more the Swift upgrade option on either the Stance or Fortunes would probably result in the best performance. If you just want a good daily driver w/ some spirited drives the KSports should suffice, if you plan on some track time then you gotta pay to play

I also have a 2010 x coupe and am considering getting rid of my Eibach Pro Kit springs and going coils but variety out there is tough to choose between and the horrible condition roads in NJ are also another huge factor as to why I've held out on doing so. I'm stuck between Stance coils and Fortune Auto for the moment.

I'm really liking the fortune auto 500 coils i have to look into the swift upgrade springs more so if anyone has any info regarding these please let me know i don't want to spend more then i have to but at the same time I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" so if i need to spend a little more then 1k then I'm fine with that just want an overall great product/ride

By far the hottest coilovers for the AWD available is hands down STANCE(Manufactured in Japan, assembled in Chicago). Since revising their entire line-up and about two years ago, the quality is 2nd to none for the price!

We've offered Fortune 500 as well as BC but continue to get mixed reviews, even more so with BC on the AWD with random "clunking" sounds coming from the rear struts. We have notified BC on this issue in multiple occasions in which they simply ignore solving the issue at hand.

They came out with their AWD version with revised front lower struts about 7 months ago and we haven't been able to keep them on our shelves!

Please let me know if you have any questions or need assistance in getting setup. I believe we have 5 or 6 sets still available for purchase in our May shipment.

I'm running Ksports as well. The adjustments are easy to make, I can go as low as I need, the ride is great, and there's no noise.



This image is before they settled. They're actually sitting a bit lower than this now.

Best AWD coils? I guess it comes down to price as all reviews seem similar, whats the best price on the k sports vs Stance? I'm trying to choose coils for my 2011 g37xS..

I've had my Fortune 500's with swift springs on my X sedan for over a year now and have had no issues. No weird sounds, they handle excellent and the ride quality is also excellent. awesome coilovers IMO and well worth the money. It sounds like Stance are good too. I've had BC's on a previous car and while the handling was excellent the ride sucked.
