Hatch-Ready Gen 8 Control: 2008-2014 STI (Swift)

Fortune Auto Gen 8 500 Series coilovers for the 2008-2014 Subaru STI hatchback; hatchback models only. They are designed to improve handling, ride quality and stance. The 500 Series is Fortune Auto's entry-level single adjustable coilover, built to balance performance and comfort. Gen 8 adds the High Flow Digressive Piston, machined from billet, which gives firm low-speed compression and rebound control and softens over bumps. Each damper is dyno-tested, rebuildable and revalveable. Swift springs are included; choose your front and rear spring rates from the dropdown menus.

Straight from SubiSpeed

We steer most daily-driven and weekend builds toward the 500 Series, and Fortune Auto also positions it for show cars and purpose-built race cars. Pick your spring rates for how the car is actually driven before you check out, and message us if you want a second opinion. These are built to order, with Fortune Auto listing lead time at 4-6 weeks, so order ahead of your install date. Book an alignment right after installation, and a corner balance if the car sees track time. If you outgrow it, the modular design lets you step up to a 2-way or 3-way canister system later.
