Bang for Buck Coilovers for FC

I'm looking into new coils... My Cuscos are blown, which i am super pissed about. I really liked them but both of my rear shock blew.

I'm looking for something that I can order or modify for the way I like the car to ride.
I like the springs to be on the softer side and high speed damping to be good.

My budget is ~2000. I really don't want to go over that number.

I've had JIC FLT-A2s, JIC FLT-TARs and Stance XRs on my FC.

I was impressed by my friend ScrapFC's FC on Fortune 500 series coilovers- I would get those.

Bonus, they are serviceable, customizable and upgradeable.

$1,299 MSRP

I personally use Feal on my FC. Being a dealer, we use them on all our cars (primarily Subarus) and have never had someone dissatisfied. Odi himself will field calls and help plan out the spring rates, valving, etc for each build if so desired. I like the personal attention and service we get from a smaller company.

They're highly comparable to Fortune, also assembled, valved, and serviced here in the US.

Two major differences:

Feals come standard with Swift springs, Fortune is an upgrade.

Fortune does have an inverted monotube shock, which I am nowhere near qualified to comment on how much better that is than what most other companies use.

Regardless, I don't think you could make a bad choice with either, just would like to share my experience and with satisfaction with the little guy.

Fortune 510s for that budget hands down.

Another vouch for the fortune autos. I've been running their 500 series for a bit now.

You can get your Cuscos rebuilt.
