Does anyone have any experience (direct or otherwise) with Feal coilovers? I previously had Ground Control with Koni Yellows, went with 600f/700r for spring rates. They seemed a bit harsh but I fuckin loved it. I'm sure with better dampers I'd be more happier, so I'm looking for answers.
 
I recently picked up the 441+ (road race) to replace my Swift/B8 combo. Damping is very good on track but not the greatest for pubic roads (no surprise, I was prepared for this). You'll want to make sure to keep an eye on the road surface and prepare to dodge any obstacles coming your way.

For me, it was a tossup between the 441+ and FA 5100 and I eventually decided to go with the 441+ due to the price point. In hindsight, I probably would've gone with the FA5100's for a couple specific reasons and also because the 441's had some slight production oversight's imo. Front top hat studs were't long enough to continue using a strut bar and front suspension stroke is fairly limited in the amount of travel available.

I don't think Fortune Auto makes anything for the genWIN unfortunately. Then again, isn't the only appreciable difference in the width of the rear shock? I seem to recall people adding spacers to make stuff work; I just can't recall what stuff (spacers in the Pu or the WIN?)

Also, how much travel do you think you're giving up? I wasn't planning on lowering too much. Haven't decided how low yet but I was pretty happy with factory ride height. It's one reason I liked Ground Control back in the day.
 
I don't have the exact measurements but the car was lowered around 1.25" from oem ride height and was approaching the bottom of it's adjustability.
