Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers for BMW 535d E60 (2006-2010)

If you’re looking to upgrade your ride’s suspension, let me tell you about the Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers. These bad boys are designed for the BMW 535d E60, and they pack a serious punch when it comes to performance and handling.

First off, the Generation 6 Internal Floating Piston is a game changer. It’s lighter than previous models and features a low-drag Teflon band that cuts down on stiction. What does that mean for you? Well, your dampers will react faster to bumps and dips in the road, giving you a smoother ride. The seals on these dampers have 40% less drag compared to earlier versions, which translates to better control when you’re behind the wheel.

The new Buna rubber compound used for the shaft seal strikes a solid balance between durability and performance. You want a shock that’s going to last, right? A stronger seal means better quality and performance overall.

Now, let’s talk about the shims. These little guys are crucial for regulating fluid flow in the damper. The valving process involves different shim sizes and thicknesses, which can significantly impact how your suspension feels. Just a tiny variation can change the damper’s force profile by up to 25%. That’s why Fortune Auto uses high-grade Sandvik steel for their shims—precision is key here.

And if you’re worried about aesthetics, the bright dip anodizing process gives these coilovers a brilliant finish that not only looks good but also protects the 6061 forged aluminum from corrosion. You want your parts to look good for years, and this finish helps with that.

When it comes to adjustments, the revised jetting and increased adjustment range provide a wider scope for fine-tuning your ride. Each click in the adjustment range is noticeable, both in feel and sound, so you know you’re making a change.

Fortune Auto didn’t skimp on the details. The piston shafts have been designed for an optimal mix of hardness and malleability, ensuring you get both safety and performance. Plus, they’ve reinforced the brackets and mounting points for added strength. Most applications even come with OEM brake line tabs welded right onto the lower mounts, making installation cleaner and safer.

Another cool feature is the digressive piston technology. This allows for impressive low-speed force that translates your inputs into precise control. You’ll feel the difference on the road—stability without sacrificing comfort, even on rough surfaces.
