What made you go with the Fortune Auto over others?? I'm torn on what to get.
I'm going to start doing the weekend track days as soon as I finish my Integra. Fortune Auto is US based, they have great customer service, and they offer affordable rebuild options in the event that I need more out of these in the future. If I needed to, I could send mine back to them for re valving or upgrading to their higher end product lines.

There was a review by some guy on s2ki

Note to Self .....
If you mock up your lip make sure you remove it before you take a lap around the block :banghead: You may run over it!
