So disappointing. I was really excited about getting some Fortune Auto 500's. But hey, I don't mind supporting Bilstein. Deutschland products are good. But I just wanted to buy American for once.

No way. There's going to be a good market for the Honda Fit's. I mean for the price they're at and the reviews they're getting, they are going to be popular. I mean people either shell their money out on Buddy Clubs or Teins (from what I'm seeing). I was definitely going to order these just cause of the fact that it's going to take a while to get Bilstein's because they're been sold out all over the US. From the reviews they're getting, Fortune Auto is the next best alternative to Bilstein. Plus, it's built in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! YEAH!

I'm going to try to call Fortune Auto to see if they have anything on the horizon for developing a set up for the Honda Fits(GE8). If not, I'm definitely going to place my order for Bilstein's already so they don't run out on me. I've been ready to get coilovers for the past two months but the one I want to get has been out and won't get here until September 28.

Kris,
Unfortunately we are pulling out on our fit project for the time being.
We conducted an initial test fit and the setup was not safe enough for our standards. So we have to go back to the drawing board and redesign the top hats.
It is going to take about 6-8 months for a re-design.

Regards,
Terry
