This thread delivers.

Would love to see someone from AMR chime in with how their product compares to other top tier coilovers. We need some real data at this point.

Yes, I should have rephrased my sentence...it came across badly it was more the point of the matter. You can easily find MANY devision winners...and atleast 80% of the time they are running on 1 of aforementioned brands above. Trends are there and obviously you can win without having expensive items. Parts don't win races...the driver does.

That is not to say they AMR aren't capable of winning. You know as well as I do devision, class, location, and driver plays more of a role than the brand you are running. I am stating with everything constant they will not match up to the superior higher priced offerings. That was my point of the disagreement.

This is where I see the differences. They do not stack up against $4000 price range coilovers. You have DFV's for $3k, Flags for under $4k, and Moton's for not much more than that. You have custom Robispec Clubsports for $3k as well. Even under $3k you have the AST offerings which are quickly proving themselves across many platforms. In the $3-4k range their is stiff competition and I am sure you have seen first hand how they perform. I would say they compete with the $1500-2500 range, that is just my opinion though. I am not sponsored by anybody though either so I don't make it a point to tout what I have or don't have as well.

I personally tried to purchase AMR's but after some of the comments made it turned me away. Along with lead time and many claims that were never backed up. I was offered an attractive price but in the end I still have never had the question answered if he does in house custom valving or just puts whatever springrates on a customer asks for. Again if he does his own valving it would not be hard to post up a shock dyno...to see if they actually perform theoretically the way they claim to be. It seems as if the Evo crowd has faired much much better compared to other platforms. There are other people who have not had such good luck. I assume having ER sell them as well helps tremendously with their support.

I will leave the bickering at that and not derail the thread any further. Obviously like stated above concrete data will tell the tales and people can then decide for themselves. Cheers.
