Trying to decide which one I should go with. DId a fair bit of research on both of these and heard lots of great things for both. Can anybody that are running these tell me what you think? I'm leaning slightly towards BC. I got a 2020 coupe if that matters. Thanks

If you want to go BC we can get those taken care of for you! BC are probably the best bang for buck coil out there.

I have used both on my si. BC will give you the lowest ride height. But fortune auto are built with better quality and the comfort has been better compared to BC. So I say pay the extra cash and go with fortune auto.

I dont think you can go wrong with a set of Fortune Auto coilovers. Their products are used on a lot of racing applications and the company itself is very active in that area. While their products are manufactured overseas, they are assembled in house and are rebuildable.

Ive also heard great things about their customer service. If I ever plan to go with a coilover set for my R, itll likely be from FA.

I've heard good things about the Fortune Autos. Little more expensive, but you can also configure with different springs, which is nice. Haven't really heard bad things about either of them, TBH.

For more options, I'd throw Tein into the mix. They've always produced great coilovers for Hondas/Acuras over the years. If you have some money to blow, I'd say get the HKS Hipermax coils. They cost a pretty penny, but they look amazing!

agreed. As far as I know, Tein also does their manufacturing and testing all in house as well so I would feel fairly comfortable that their products arent a white label product.

Added bonus is that Tein throws in their ADS error canceller too! Some companies are charging upwards of $400 for that...
