Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers - 2001-2003 Acura CL

The Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers for the 2001–2003 Acura CL are a premium, fully adjustable coilover suspension system purpose-built for CL owners who want a genuine performance upgrade without sacrificing everyday livability. Whether you're looking to tighten up the CL's handling for weekend canyon runs, dial in a clean street stance, or explore occasional track days, the 500 Series delivers race-derived technology in a street-friendly package that's custom-built to your specifications.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Flow Digressive Technology™ — Fortune Auto's patented piston design generates high low-speed damping force for sharp control of body roll, dive, and squat under driver inputs, yet the force "blows off" at high stroke speeds so the suspension remains supple over bumps and road irregularities. You get sports-car responsiveness on smooth roads and real compliance on rough ones.
• 24-Step Rebound Adjustment — Fine-tune damping from comfort-biased daily driving to a firmer track setup with 24 distinct clicks of rebound adjustment, giving you precise control without guesswork.
• Monotube Damper with High-Pressure Nitrogen — The monotube design provides more consistent damping performance and better heat dissipation compared to twin-tube alternatives, keeping the shock performing reliably lap after lap or mile after mile.
• Aluminum T6 6061 Mounts and Camber Plates — Lightweight, forged aluminum upper mounts with bright-dip anodizing resist corrosion and oxidation while reducing unsprung weight. The aluminum camber plates on the Acura CL application allow front camber adjustment to optimize tire contact and alignment after lowering.
• Koyo Japan Radial Bearing Upper Mounts — High-quality radial bearings reduce bind for noise-free operation and improved steering response — a meaningful real-world upgrade over rubber-bushed OEM-style mounts.
• Premium Chrome Silicon Springs — The Generation 8 500 Series ships with Fortune Auto's premium chrome silicon alloy springs, engineered for superior performance, consistent spring rates, and longer service life compared to standard spring wire.
• Custom Built and Dyno Tested — Every Fortune Auto shock absorber is built to order and individually dyno-tested and matched. Fortune Auto refuses a "one size fits all" approach, so the dampers shipped to you have been verified to perform to specification.
• Rebuildable and Revalveable — The 500 Series can be rebuilt and revalved at Fortune Auto's Virginia facility, meaning your investment is serviceable long-term rather than disposable.
• Upgradeable to 2-Way Canister — The modular design allows the 500 Series to be upgraded to a 2-way canister setup in the future, protecting your investment if your performance goals evolve.
• Race-Proven Technology — Suspension development is derived from Fortune Auto's involvement in World Challenge, Redline Time Attack, Formula Drift, and One Lap of America competition programs.
• 5-Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty — Fortune Auto backs the 500 Series with a 5-year limited warranty, reflecting confidence in long-term build quality.

Fitment

These coilovers are specifically designed and validated for the 2001, 2002, and 2003 Acura CL. If you own a different Acura or Honda model — such as the 1999–2003 Acura TL (UA4/UA5), the 2002–2006 Acura RSX (DC5), or the 2004–2008 Acura TSX (CL9) — Fortune Auto offers separate 500 Series fitments for those platforms, and they are not interchangeable with the CL kit. Always confirm your exact model year before ordering. If you have any questions about fitment, contact our team before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do the 2001–2003 Acura CL 500 Series coilovers include camber plates?
A: Yes. The front upper mounts are aluminum T6 6061 camber plates, which allow you to adjust front camber after installation — important for maintaining proper alignment geometry and tire wear when the car is lowered.

Q: Are custom spring rates available for my Acura CL application?
A: Yes. The Fortune Auto 500 Series application chart confirms that custom spring rates are available for the 2001–2003 Acura CL. The standard configuration ships with 14K front and 8K rear springs. If you have specific performance requirements, you can request alternate rates when ordering — keep in mind that custom-built orders carry a longer lead time.

Q: Can I upgrade to Swift Springs later, or do I need to decide at the time of purchase?
A: Fortune Auto's 500 Series is designed to be modular and upgradeable. Swift Springs are a premium upgrade option available at the time of order or as a future service through Fortune Auto's Virginia facility. If you plan to upgrade later, the modular design supports it.

Q: Are these coilovers rebuildable if something wears out?
A: Yes. The Fortune Auto 500 Series is rebuildable and revalveable at Fortune Auto's facility in Virginia. This means you're not buying a disposable shock — you can have the dampers serviced, revalved for different applications, or rebuilt to extend their service life significantly beyond what a non-serviceable coilover offers.
