AMR coilovers and progress rear sway bar!

Vids, to give you an idea why as to the quality, the level of durability, and the performance AMRs are capable of.

This is your complete suspension setup!

Background:
The Fit with any good suspension setup is a fantastic driver's car. And with the AMRs plus Progress RSB - strong upgrade over lowering springs and stock dampers.
Get a properly valved, properly sprung suspension at least once in your car career - you will love it!


These were on my wife's car, our family daily driver that carried a baby around.
1,700 miles, less than two months of service over the summer of 2010.

I'm selling because the car has been sold.

What you get:
1. AMR coilovers with 1700 miles. These have been on-chassis over the summer for less than 2 months.
Consider that: AMR has a lifetime warranty for the original owner. < 2 months of use, super clean!
A real range of damping adjustment, unlike crap coilovers that have almost no difference from full hard and full soft.

2. 6K rear springs and TWO sets of springs for the front, 6K and 4K.
These are Hyperco springs, Welcome to Hyperco, very high quality. Front tuning options!

3. Rear sway bar from Progress with flush mounting hardware from Panducky.
The RSB from Progress is an outstanding piece on its own merits. Rear tuning options!


Why you should choose this set:
1. Able to get 1.6 degrees camber up front, or align it stock.
2. Tuning options: two spring rates up front, a RSB for the back, and 12 clicks of adjustment at the damper.
3. Andy, who owns AMR, is still behind this set of coilovers even though they'll change hands. Give him a call if you'd like to verify.

Bottom line: Super clean, never seen track work, used for daily driving over the summer.
I don't hesitate to say that the AMR coilovers on my Evo IX are flat out better than the Robispec KW Clubsports that I used to have.
Yes, I am saying that my less expensive AMRs are better than the over twice as expensive KW Clubsports I used to run
.
These have exceeded my expectations and I was very pleased with this set. I think these will do the same for you.

Price: $1175 shipped including PP fee. I'll also sell without the rear sway bar if you'd like.I am also open to trade for 18" wheels and snow tires or tickets to the World Series if the Giants make it.

Make me an offer!

how is height? why are you selling them? my car is also my daily driver, are they only track oriented? i guess camber is a maximum, can you maintain factory camber? are you willing to ship to canada? i already have a rsb...

lol i know i ask a lot of questions XD

Thanks

ask away!

you'll be able to achieve stock ride height if desired. i set mine about 1 cm above the swift lowering springs that were on previously.

i'm selling them because the car is sold.

these were on my wife's car, her daily driver, so they are suitable for DD.

you can definitely get just stock camber.

i'll ship to canada.

and we can work a deal with no RSB.

Andy at AMR gets his springs from hyperco. maybe he can get an odd spring for you through his suppliers. it takes time for him to build these since each set is valved specifically for the customer and he's pretty backlogged.

i will sell the RSB separately only when the C/O have been bought. i want the buyer to be happy because my rep is more valuable than an extra 50 or 60 bucks. i really think that the rsb is an important part of the whole package.

today, and today only: $999 shipped.

I just found out about AMR this weekend (late bloomer) and would love to check these out. I have an email into Andy to see if your set would work on my GE (fitment and spring rate). I would hate to get these and 1. have them not fit and 2. be way too stiff.

If they will work, I just have to save up the money...almost there! =)

If not I, I know someone will snatch these beautiful pieces up!

Cheers!

great to hear!

i'll tell you right now that these will fit the 07-08 (that's the GD right?) and will not fit the '09 and up (GE?). i would confirm with Andy just to be sure, but im pretty sure.

if the guy or gal you know does end up snatching these up because you pointed him to this thread, i'll send you a little something nice!
