Fortune Auto coils......think they're going for $800 or so, plus their distribution store is right down the road on 60. That is funny that you say that cuz i've been checking out some bikes on CL, either a 750 or 1000 gsxr's

+1 on fortune auto coilovers 500 series, I am saving for those at the moment for myself. Was gonna get s techs but I want to go MOAR LOW. fortune is down the street and they offer dyne testing and can also fix/rebuild if anything happens. Also you can save shipping cost cause you can go down and pick them up. the 500 series coils are 1100 and 510 series are 1600 (but they are for track use)

I saw a group buy that was letting them go for 900, I would have joined but i don't have the cash just yet, I'm on the hunt for another group buy.

also my friend had them on his 350z said he loved them, he was SLAMMED, and he said he could go lower. He mentioned the ride was great and as good as his 3,000 dollar coilovers from his other car

Yea they are good coils, and I know how you feel about the driveway thing, once I'm lowered I'm gonna need wood boards to get out my drive way BUT you gotta do what you gotta do. you would set your car offf if it was lowered

Do your research on the year of the GSXR's. They have TERRIBLE stock tunes for most years! I will never get a GSXR. Their bikes are OK, but the culture around them is a bunch of douche bags that does stupid **** and make the bikes look horrible. Obv, not throwing you into that class, but just a heads up . Better to look for a Kawasaki 10R, 1000RR CBR, or R1.
That is funny that you say that cuz i've been checking out some bikes on CL, either a 750 or 1000 gsxr's
Not trying to go slammed. Comfort>>>>>. Comfort is everything. Only time I really drive the G now is on the weekends and when taking the fine ladies out. Cant have them bouncing around on a harsh ride and what not.

Is that with install or just the hardware itself?

and ride quality in them is good, so you can go pretty low and still ride good. A lot of ppl say Im getting coils but I'm not going to drop to much, but after a week they go wow I WANNA GO MORE low. haha IM predicting that will happen to you

Thanks! Who are you going to for the "dealer"? http://www.fortune-auto.net/dealers.htm
Doubt it. I hate the helle flush and tucked looks. Looks stupid in my opinion. I think I hate more of the crap ride, actually. Some really dropped cars look good.
After a week they go wow I WANNA GO MORE low. haha IM predicting that will happen to you

I know a vendor, JM auto racing, They aren't on driver but they are on fb, I talked to the guy who owns it, his old group buy was 5+ ppl 1000 shipped 10 or 15+ ppl 900 shipped, but not many ppl know about fortunes well they do but not enough so not many ppl bought it. Im gonna try to get them in the 900-1000 range. I still need another 2 months to save up tho

some cars don't need to be hell flush but they are for no reason, I understand where you are coming from. However a hell flush G or slammed G looks good IMO
