I'm looking into getting some coilovers and my local shop only has these: http://www.maperformance.com/fortune-auto-500-series-coilovers-mazdaspeed3-fa-500-co-ms3.html

Has anyone ever heard anything about these for the MS3? There were quite a few reviews for Evos and other applications, but nothing for the MS3 specifically.

According to the specs on their website, the spring rates are: 7.8 f and 4 r.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Fortune makes some really NICE CO's they are definately top notch, had them in my Evo 8, ride is stiff but damn things make your car feel like it's on rails....definately would recommend them, but I'm POSITIVE they don't deal with Mazdaspeed3 specific fitment tho. Thus it lists the 3 and speed3s together...I suppose it would work since the MS3 is really just a 3 on crack.

I'm at the edge of selling my brand new BC's and getting FA instead,people are recommending them over BC's for larger piston/stainless steel body/shock revalving for different spring rates,the only problem is that I've never seen the actual kit for MS3 and don't even know if rear shock mount is included or OEM will be used. People on Hyundai Genesis Coupe forum are saying that FA coilovers for their cars are actually true coilovers in the rear instead of independant spring/shock setup. I've emailed one distributor for more informations.

Have you seen the actual kit in person Workdawg at your local shop?

Opps my bad, I meant specifically Mazdaspeed3' I should have checked my writing. You are correct on the MAZDA fitment.
