Im looking for new coilovers and I think I've narrowed my search down to either the Superstreet 1s from RCE or Fortune Auto 500s, I was hoping some of the community could give me some more insight on the pros/cons or just the differences between the 2.

Some background is I use the car for daily driving with some canyon running on the weekends and looking to do track days in the future. Currently on RSR lowering springs, 17x9+38 wheels paired with 245/45 rubber and I am rubbing a bit when the suspension compresses.

I have / have had FA500s on 3 different Fiesta STs. I can't speak highly enough about the quality and customer service. They are good coilovers, but they are still made in the same place as Silvers and while they do the R&D and final assembly in house, the parts are produced overseas.

I have RCE SS1s on my car now, and I would buy them again (over the FAs). They are extremely easy to set up and are a good compromise between all out performance and street manners. You can't go wrong with either one IMO, I just really like the RCEs for this car.
