    Our personal favorite pick in the suspension department for the MR2 without a doubt is the Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers. As passionate, decade long MR2 fanatics, we've pretty much tried around 80%+ of the different suspensions out there for the MR2 and personally feel that this coilover is an no brainer in its price range as it is on par in performance with other 2-3k systems out there, while yet feeling more comfortable.

     

    What won us over was that FA 500 coilovers offer amazing daily comfort for driving on crappy city roads (California) and the best road performance we've seen so far. For comfort, small annoying jarring high frequency bumps present on other types of coilovers (BC, ksport, megan, tein etc) were filtered out and the setup actually feels like what an OEM luxury sports car feels like, not jarring, but comfortable, supple and yet capable. With identical spring rates at 5/8K, the FA500 personally felt 30-40% less jarring/more comfortable on our admin's personal MR2 than our second favorite pick - BC Racing Type BR coilovers (which were replaced for the FA500 Coilovers as admin Richard complained of comfort issues). Countless reviews also mentioned similar comments. The 5/8K on FA500 were also significantly better than the 4/6k on the BCs (We tried that too in hopes of a more comfortable ride but its too soft and the high frequency bounces were still present annoying/uncomfortable). The FA500 coilovers helped achieve higher cornering speeds, an increased sense of stability/confidence at high cornering speeds (think triple digit/OEM speed governed, flat out throttle on a rounder. **We don't condone doing this and we are not responsible for any injuries/damages/death arising from this) Comes with 5 years warranty, HAND BUILT in USA and shock dyno'ed /tested in house coilovers. Also, customer service is amazing! 

     

    Truthfully, we sell BC coilovers as well (personally owned 3 sets), but after installing a set of FA500 ourselves, we truly believe in this product and that at a small increase in price is much better to have FA500 than BCs, especially if comfort and performance is a priority to you or if you plan to drive the car often. BCs generally suffers from inconsistent spring rates under compression(5k turns into a 9-11k spring after an inch of travel for example) which can upset handling, predictability, driving confidence and comfort. Their valving is also not as nice/comfortable or sophisticated to the point where they account for vehicle weight/wheel base/dynamics etc for the optimal rates for valving on the MR2 (What we've read and believe from personal experience).. But hey, if money is tight and if you like BCs, we carry them as well in our suspension department! 

     

    As another comparison in the MR2 community, the comfort is on par with the famous but extremely hard to obtain TRD springs/Koni strut combo. It is pretty similar to the stock 1993 mr2 suspension in terms of comfort. Or you can try Ohlins (which are around 3k-4k MSRP) but we think they're pretty similar. (Read some of our customer reviews below)

     

    As experts say, it is all in the valving which gives the coilovers its characteristics and this product gets their shocks valved in house with high quality components according to your desired spring rates, with specific vehicle weight and dynamics taken into consideration while engineering the ideal shock valving rates. An added bonus is that a bigger diameter piston is used rather than the smaller on other coilovers on the market, which increases the coilovers ability to dissipate forces and shock temperatures, leading to better consistency under harsh use and many other advantages.

     

    This coilover system also utilizes Digressive piston technology which in basic terms, allows for significantly more comfortable and non jarring ride on the street versus other competitors while still being able to perform extraordinarily well on the track or under spirited driving with benefits of a wide range of damper adjustments. FA coilover technology is also used on many world class competition cars which are currently setting record lap times around the world. 

     

    Fortune Auto raises the bar with unparalleled quality and shock consistency (under high shock temps, will the coilover exert consistent forces under high temperatures?), customization and continuing support as well as product advancements/upgrades for the product over the years.

     

    **If comfort and spring consistency is a big issue, get the swift springs. Their springs are wound from a magnetic steel alloy that makes the spring much more compliant and in the end, a more comfortable coilover system. They are much more consistent as well. (Example - A 5kg rated spring wont jack up to 9kg after the first inch of compression, it will stay a 5kg spring through the compression.) This is important for comfort, confidence inspiring feel, performance and predictability.  

     

    500 Series Coilovers are custom, hand-built to order. Most applications, including the MR2 have an estimated 8 week lead time (hand built/valved to your specific order).  Due to this, once ordered, these are non cancellable.

     

    Specs:

    • Top Mounts Front: Pillowball Camber Plate
    • Top Mounts Rear: Aluminum
    • Default recommended Spring Rate Front: 4K 
    • Default recommended Spring Rate Rear: 6K
    • Custom Spring Rate Available. (Every FA order is custom valved to spring rates)
      • 4/6K - What FA default recommends, A bit soft. In theory, this should be more forgiving if rear slips out and the most comfortable for daily/mountain/occasional track use. Not really recommended as 5/7KG offers pretty much the same comfort and offers better performance benefits. 
      • ***Fortune Auto and MR2heaven recommends 5/7K as baseline - for more modified mr2s - daily use (50%)/mountain carving(35%)/occasional track use(10%)/more planted to ground feel or if you have light Aerodynamic mods (splitter, wing, flat underbody etc) or sticky tires, Hankook RS3, RS4, Pilot super sports, star spec, etc. Perfect choice. 
      • 5/8K -  Pretty decent choice but we think the rear is a bit bumpy over large bumpy rounders during cornering. Don't get us wrong, it still very comfortable and provides immense confidence and cornering capabilities.
      • 7/9KG works too and is comfortable. 
      • 8/10KG - If you have big aerodynamic mods and are into track racing or slamming the car/stance/trying not to rub or destroy your wheels, stiffer than 7/9KG also works and prevents rubbing. For Static stance guys (fender next to the wheel edge) Barely noticeable difference in comfort difference versus 6/8K. 
      • 12/14KG++ - We have not used this yet but recommended for very aggressive street, racing, track or stance use. For cars with massive aerodynamic mods attempting to shatter records. Should still be relatively comfortable and offers incredible road handling and feel. (This opinion is based of driving a 17/18KG setup on JRZ Pro 2 way coilovers ($6000+) on a E36 M3 which handled perfectly while being sporty and very comfortable on the streets. Felt 10-20% more harsh than our 5/8 FA coilover on MR2. Still more comfortable than 5/8K BC coilovers. No Joke.)A good point to remember is that sometimes stiffer is not better for handling. Sometimes some play in the suspension can allow for better weight distribution during cornering and can help with driver feedback, car stability and confidence.

    "I absolutely love my fortunes man, i got the stiffer springs (7/9k) but the handmade coils and custom design they use make the impacts in the road so soft while maintaining stiffness" - Matthew W.

     

    "I have been a fan of Fortune Auto for years, and their re-release of the MR2 version, is even better. They will valve AND spring your specific needs, so it's truly a custom coil over, and only $1225. I literally ordered a set for a 60 year old Grandma that wanted to just drive her RHD MR2 around town. Those were PLUSH" - Scott M of ATS Racing

     

    "5/8K springs on fortune autos. A little stiffer than oem and a little more bouncy than OEM, but way nicer than the BC's i rode on. One of my favorite mods i've done so far. I haven't even played with the settings on mine at all (they're currently somewhere in the middle) and the ride is barely harsher than oem, but with much less leaning and diving" - Malcolm S. (Why we recommend 5/7K Spring rates)

    and many more recommendations..

     

    "Gone are the days of compromising a comfortable daily ride for potent track performance and ride height/suspension adjustment capabilities. FA500 rides comfortably like OEM while being great on the track and we cannot say the same for other coilovers/suspension setups without breaking the bank." - MR2Heaven

    Most small packages cost under $40 to ship. Most small items that fit in an polybag costs around $5 or so for CONUSA shipping.

    Our shipping calculator provides estimates and may not always accurately reflect shipping rates for larger items, oversized packages, or complex/multi-item orders. If you are unsure about the shipping cost or need assistance, please feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to help.

    We offer a range of competitive domestic and international shipping options to fit your needs and budget.

    Need your order fast? Expedited services, including Next Day Air and other express shipping options, are available at checkout when supported by the destination and package.

    Need multiple orders shipped together? We offer package consolidation services when needed and may be able to combine eligible orders into a single shipment, helping simplify delivery and potentially reduce shipping costs.

    Contact us before your orders ship, and we'll do our best to accommodate your request.

    If an item is In Stock, it is ready to ship and will be packaged and sent out as quickly as possible.

    Because many of our products are produced in limited quantities, popular items can sell out between production runs. With production and manufacturing lead times often ranging from 1-3+ months, unexpected demand can quickly deplete available and planned inventory, and waiting for future production runs may mean missing one—or even multiple—batches and facing a significant delay.

    Pre-Orders help us accurately gauge demand and plan production quantities while allowing customers to secure their spot & receive their parts in a timely manner. This helps reduce delays and the chances of products selling out unexpectedly, while ensuring we can continue bringing more specialized products to the community.

    Not all pre-orders are the same. Depending on the product, a pre-order may be for an existing product that is temporarily sold out or a new product that is still in development.

    The product page will provide the most current estimated fulfillment timeline and any relevant project details.

    Restock Pre-Orders — Existing Products

    Many of our products are produced in limited quantities, and popular items can sell out between production runs.

    If an existing product is sold out, we may open a pre-order for the next production batch. These products have already been developed and produced previously, but additional manufacturing time is required before the next batch is ready.

    Pre-ordering secures your place in the next production run and ensures you don’t miss the next available batch.

    Development Pre-Orders — New Products

    Some pre-orders are for completely new products that are still being developed.

    Developing a new product is a significant process. Depending on the complexity of the project, it may involve:

    • Product design and engineering
    • Prototyping and testing
    • Tooling and mold development
    • Fitment and quality/mold revisions
    • Manufacturing preparation
    • Final production and quality control

    A single product can take 3 months to over a year to fully develop before it is ready for regular production.

    During this process, prototypes, molds, fitment, or manufacturing methods may require revisions. If we identify an issue that does not meet our standards, we may need to make corrections before moving forward with production.

    This can occasionally extend the estimated timeline, but we believe it is better to correct an issue before shipping rather than rush a product to customers that does not meet our standards.

    We always aim to provide the best estimated timeline available at the time a pre-order is listed.

    However, estimated dates are not guaranteed. Manufacturing schedules can change, and development projects may require additional time for prototyping, revisions, production, or quality control.

    We do not believe in rushing production simply to meet a projected date.

    Before a product ships, it must go through the appropriate manufacturing, finishing, fitment, and quality control processes to ensure it meets our standards.

    If there are any significant changes to the estimated timeline, we will provide pre-order customers with updates as information becomes available.

    Good products take time. We'd rather get it right than get it out fast.

    Our goal is to continue supporting the MR2 community by developing new and unique products that may not otherwise exist.

    Pre-orders and group buys allow us to better determine demand and commit to larger production quantities. Larger manufacturing orders can help reduce per-unit production costs, allowing us to pass a portion of those savings directly on to our customers while also helping fund the development of future products.

    By participating in a pre-order, you are not only securing your product—you are also helping make new projects possible.

    Depending on the project, participating in a pre-order or group buy may provide:

    • Up to 20% off or more on future regular product price
    • Priority access before regular inventory becomes available
    • The ability to secure your place in a limited production run
    • The opportunity to help bring new, community-requested products to market

    Because pre-orders and group buys allow us to commit to production quantities, tooling, manufacturing, and product development, pre-order purchases are generally non-refundable once the order has been placed.

    If you no longer wish to wait for your pre-order, you may have the option to convert the full amount paid into MR2 Heaven store credit, which can be applied toward MR2 Heaven-branded products.

    Please note that pre-order fulfillment timelines are estimates and may change due to manufacturing, fitment, quality control, or other unforeseen development delays.

    In the unlikely event that a product is ultimately unable to be produced or the project is permanently canceled, all affected pre-order customers will receive a full refund.

    Thank you for supporting our projects and helping us continue to develop new products for the MR2 community.

    Customer photo review of MR2Heaven East Bear Style 91 Spoiler - Fiberglass and Carbon Fiber Available

    Needs some adjustment but if you buy Glassfiber thats somthing to expect, so if you can do boodywork and smoothen the edge down and join them togetter you will have a super clean looking wing that not many have, this is the wing you need if you dont want what everyone has on their Sw20 and it looks amazing with the right work put into it

    Customer photo review of MR2Heaven E-Brake Cables (For OEM Brake Calipers)

    I have a working ebrake again!!! Straight foward install, had to work some of the metal on the car so the yellow plastic grommets on the cable stay in place. Also one of the pins wasn’t sliding in at all so I grounded it down and then I slightly drilled the yoke on the cable for an easy fit. I would have gave it 5 stars but I did have to do some work to make it fit so it gets 4 stars

    Customer photo review of MR2Heaven Reproduction Steering Column Covers (Carbon Fiber Available)

    Over all looks good when installed. The reason for the three star is I honestly think the install could be easy I fought with the shell for about an hour trying to get so I could start the screws. But that’s the way these are from factory they’re just a pain. But over all would buy again just wish the thing snapped together easier.

    Customer photo review of Toyota MR2 Full E153 Axles with CV joints + LSD/Non LSD Stubs

    Experience was top notch. Both axles came very fast since I live in Cali, but I'm sure they'd be fine anywhere around the world. Customer service was able to assist me with best in class customer service. Thank you for an overall great experience!

    Customer photo review of MR2Heaven "OEM Shaved" Wiper Cowl - Carbon Fiber Only

    Fit almost perfectly. Since it’s not flexible like the broken thin 90’s plastic it will take some finesse to get it in the right spots but shouldn’t be an issue for anyone familiar with carbon fiber or fiberglass. I will need to get longer screws for the ends but I have driven on the highway and it doesn’t rattle or lift at the ends like OEM, so long as you have every other screw in place it doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere.

    Customer photo review of MR2Heaven Heavy Duty Premium OEM+ Leather/Alcantara Seat Covers [Heated Seats Available]

    Transformed the car. Old cracked leather covers out, replaced with new. I used zip ties and massaged seat foam to where it needed to be, and the seats feel like brand new. I added some soft foam to drivers side to increase bolstering. Also got the heated seat kit which I'm wiring up to period-correct Toyota heated seat switches in the switch blanks next to fog light switch, for 100% stock look. My only gripe - Was sold as black Alcantara but the center part looks gray... much lighter than rest of car interior, until t-tops leak and get the fabric wet.

    Customer photo review of OEM Reproduction Heavy Duty Rear Trunk Cargo Tray Boot, Mat, Liner - MR2 SW20

    MR2 Heaven is a great resource for an individual who is new to the MR2 community that just purchased a 1993 MR2 Turbo T Top with only 45,000 miles in amazing condition. I have purchased more than a few items already and just received my Enkei RPF1 17x7 & 17x8 Staggered Wheels in Silver to replace the original 15” Wheel because I was very limited to tire selection. All of the items I have purchased from MR2 Heaven are very good quality and benefit the vehicle. Buy with confidence because this resource is one of the best!

    Customer photo review of Engine Lid Dual Fan Shroud (Forged Carbon Fiber/Mirror Finish/Carbon Fiber/Raw Aluminum) - Reduces Air Intake Temperatures - SPAL fan available

    4/5: I like the look and the light weight of the forged carbon fiber lid. I did not have success using the 20A fuse for the SPAL fans. Verified I had a good ground connection and good voltage (14.4V with engine running) but continually blew 20A fuses. I went up to 30A fuse for the circuit and was then able to run the fans for more than a few seconds. The SPAL fans are rated for just under 19 Amps combined so I'm not surprised at the 20A fuses popping on startup. The relay kit should be upped to 12-gauge wire and 25 or 30A fusing. I will have to see if the circuit will hold up during continuous use by doing some more testing. The layout of the fan mounting holes could be better. Mine required a small amount of angle on the spacers to get everything mounted. The instructions warn against overtightening the fasteners for the fans - but it took a full turn past hand tight to get the nyloc section of the nuts to catch the first thread of the bolts. The bolts would be better if 1/8" longer. Recommend using a small bead of lock tight to ensure the nuts don't fall off from vibration. TLDR: Looks awesome and moves A TON of air. 20AMP fusing didn't cut it for the SPAL fans.
