AMR is the best

Ever since I got my evo x a year and a half ago, I wanted coilovers. My friends got a set of these and when I found out about the lifetime warranty I was sold. After saving I found a great deal and just got the best corner balance. Billy got me to within 5 pounds with me in the car! No one gets that close! It didn't take near as long as I thought. Its a 2 hr drive for me but I got a tune from Aaron @ 3nglish Racing and then a few miles away the corner balance that afternoon. I also have to mention how haphazardly I did everything just before 2 track days, I can't believe Andy (AMR) and Aaron (English) could set me up so quickly. Wednesday was too early for a final review but tomorrow will be conclusive evidence that AMR rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

They're located in Vancouver, WA. Not sure on the cost, it's free if you buy and have them install a set of coilovers.

Can't wait until I get mine on!!

Group2 in Ballard charges$225 for alignment/ride height/corner balance. But it's really not worth doing unless you're going to track the car.

seriously doubt anyone getting as close as billy. it may be further but worth it. get it done, come back in a month or two on the way to PIR and they'll recheck your settings for free. i got coilovers on the better evo X forum from another guy and installed myself, so prices might be different for others.

If you haven't been to G2 I wouldn't say that...they have probably setup more race cars in WA than just about anybody. Just so you know...

It'll be another couple weeks, he's re-machining the bodies for me so the car can be lowered another inch or so, if I desire. The ones he made me the first time only allowed ~1" drop all the way around, and I'm in the market for 1.5" front, and 1" rear or so. Numbers are of course dependent on how much ride and handling is compromised.

EDIT: All the work Andy is having done (including fixing the first thing I messed it) was done free.

bradze, how much preload is added to your springs? is it too much to ask the next time you raise your car to measure the distance from top spring perch to bottom of spring perch?
