Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers - 1998-2005 Lexus GS400 (JZS160/JZS161)

The Fortune Auto Generation 8 – 500 Series Damper for the 1998-2005 Lexus GS400 (JZS160/JZS161) is a single adjustable coilover designed for an optimal balance between performance and comfort. Here are the key details and features:

Generation 8 Updates:

Laser Etchings: New laser-etched top plates, locking spring perches, and lower mount locking rings with hex key sizes for easier setup.

Lower Mount Locking Ring Clamps: Now standard, making adjustments easier and less prone to coming loose in high mechanical grip applications.

High Flow Digressive™ Pistons: Lightweight billet construction for maximum weight savings and higher damper sensitivity, optimizing the balance between performance and comfort.

Additional Features:

• FA Synthetic Shock Oil: Ensures consistent performance and durability.
• Radial Bearing Mounts: Standard on MacPherson applications, providing less bind for noise-free operation and smoother steering response.
• Premium Chrome Silicon Springs: Equipped with premium chrome silicon springs for superior performance, longevity, and ride quality.
• T6 6061 Aluminum Mounts and Camber Plates: High-quality aluminum construction for strength and durability.
• Rebuildable and Revalveable: Can be rebuilt and revalved at the Fortune Auto facility in Richmond, VA, ensuring long-term usability.
• Modularity: Upgradeable to 2-Way or 3-Way Canister, offering flexibility for future enhancements.
• Everyday Driveability: Research on the racetrack has helped develop the 500 Series into a great all-around shock absorber for daily driving.
• Occasional Track Use: Digressive piston technology provides control over driver inputs during occasional track use, maintaining maximum control over bumps and irregularities.

Bright Dip Anodized: A chemical polishing and anodizing process designed to enhance the integrity of aluminum. This procedure results in a shiny surface that provides effective protection against corrosion and oxidation.

Back-Milled Aluminum Components: Components such as radial bearings, spring perches, locking spring perches, aluminum camber bolt sleeves, and bow-tie style aluminum pillowball housings undergo back-milling. This process not only reduces weight but also imparts a more elegant design to the components.

Dyno-Tuned and Tested: Each shock absorber undergoes dyno testing, ensuring that they meet performance standards and providing consistent quality control.

Flow Digressive Technology™: This technology enables substantial low-speed force, translating driver inputs into precise control. It offers a supple and compliant ride at higher speeds while maintaining superior mechanical grip over rough surfaces.
