Fortune Auto 510s or HKS Hipermax R or Ohlins?

FYI, I am putting the AST 5100s on my FL5 and have learned that shorter end links are required with the front coilovers. No instructions from AST lead to me discovering this in the middle of installation. Amazing quality product, lacking in documentation.

My only point, as a warning to the uninitiated, and as someone who rides on what I would consider high-end entry-level adjustable coilovers (Ohlins RT w/ Cancellers are well over $3K, huge racing pedigree with Ohlins as well), is that nothing does everything at the same time, no matter how much you pay. If your suspension is setup to be stiffer, it will impact your ride quality, period. Coilovers, high spring rates, stiffer rear sway bar - it doesn't matter what it is. If you want access to the performance benefits those things offer, you will pay for it in "comfort". Sure, maybe you can adjust rebound or compression or whatever, but there's no such thing as max comfort and max performance. Increasing one effectively decreases the other. It's about being honest with yourself and understanding what you're willing to tolerate. There are some people who throw in an intermediate motor mount like a 72A and think it's intolerable, and other people who think it's a totally fine for daily drivability.

Amen Brother !!!
