What do you mean by "fake".

I've got S2 alphas (spherical bearing at the end). Not very long, but I've taken them thru some hard cornering.

How long did it take to break?

Subframe brace, fancy colored LCA but... no sway bar, which is the one part that matters. Man, you need to get your priorities straight. Don't get bling. Focus on the stuff that actually makes a difference and always save up and buy quality. You'll be happier on the long run...

Gosh, after not sponsoring H-T for over 2 years, nothing has changed, people buy more crap than ever. As I've said many times before, being in this business for over a decade, keep it simple. You get what you pay for. You want the best lower control arms, stick with OEM, or Function 7 who has been leading the way since the beginning. You want the most reliable dampers in the world, you buy AMR Engineering, who has gone 9 years without a single blown production damper. Both companies offering a lifetime warranty with proven years behind them. Buy from companies who have done this for a long time, who have proven themselves, not these overnight companies who buy their **** in bulk, and who knows how long they will be around. It's one thing to have a lifetime warranty, but to be soo good for soo many years to not even need it, that speaks volumes. That's no marking bullshit, but facts.

Keep it simple fellas!!

You're only a couple hours away from me and I will never purchase nor recommend your business to anyone. Even after sending PM's about the UCA.

The shining white knight of good business practices preaching about what makes a company and product great. Surprisingly forgetting to touch on the idea of actually delivering products on time/at all...

Is this the reason why AMR is no longer a sponsor? I always wondered why I never hear of AMR being thrown around on here anymore.

I actually had some health issues in the past that landed me in the hospital a few months after we stopped sponsoring Honda-tech. We simply stopped sponsoring Honda-Tech due to the already large demand we have for our products. On top of that, H-T kept our screen name active for years giving the impression we were still sponsors, when we were not.

Don't come on here like you know anything, if you go visit our facebook page we have been running smoothly for a long time, and we wouldn't be here a decade later otherwise. The fact is our services are highly sought after, and things have changed. You sound like someone that lives in there past, and allow it to dictate your present, and future. Sure we have had our delays, it's part of the business we are in, made to order suspension parts. Sure we had a few orders that we were not able to deliver due to my health issues, but those clients got refunds. So what's the problem? To think that a few bad apples, and a few delays, and internet trolls like you would stop anything is laughable. The fact is, we make the most reliable dampers in the world, and we wouldn't continue to be busy as hell if it was again otherwise. You don't see anyone complaining lately have you, that's because the guy assembling these things isn't in the hospital, your the type of person that obviously would kick a man while he is down, damn troll. Get the hell out of your box, cause I am living the dream. Our dampers are soo good, we make them for other brands. So for anyone to take your opinion would be just stupid. I'm about to get married, I'm a grown man, and my business is bigger than ever. Keep preaching the past buddy, cause we are not going anywhere. All your doing is bringing more attention to us, cause the amount of happy clients we have not only out weight your opinion, but a few bad apples too. I'll keep doing what I am doing cause while you hang out on H-T, and be a little internet keyboard warrior, I'm just making my empire grow, and living the dream. I deal with professionals, and for the big companies to come to us due to word of mouth, should tell you something...your opinion doesn't mean crap.

You're right. Our opinions don't mean crap to you, especially coming from window shoppers and tire kickers. Word of mouth is the best marketing strategy to employ for a business, so when someone actually goes out of his way to make a Facebook page slandering you and your business, there's gotta be some merit to their complaints. However, given that those complaints are miniscule in comparison to the amount of happy customers you have, then I'd say kudos to you. Keep on truckin'. Your business is thriving and I'm sure you'll succeed.

Funny you say you deal with professionals. Your demeanor in your post dictates otherwise.

I'm not a keyboard warrior, I just found the irony within your statement amusing. I'm fully within my rights to point out that you haven't ran your business with anything like the model business persona you're claiming you have, just like you're fully within yours to defend yourself or offer explanation for what happened in the past.

Don't get me wrong, I've heard nothing but good things about the quality of the products you sell. It's the lack of ability or priority to provide customers with their products or reasonable communication explaining delays, coupled with your soapbox preaching about choosing a product and or business simply because of their reputation within a market that I find eyebrow raising.

I hope you are in a position of improved health and that it doesn't change for the worse again. The honda community could certainly benefit from having another option for quality suspension products. Just as a suggestion though, keep your business practices on the same level as your ideals and you should continue to be successful. If for some reason in the future you're in a position of being unable to provide a product to customers in the timeframe you give them, don't continue to accept orders while ignoring the customers whose money you already accepted.

I Have AMR's on my civic, and I'd be lying if I said I was extremely impressed with them. Everything about them is high quality. From the nuts, to the springs to the anodizing on the body.

You get what you pay for, as we've all seen with the amount of **** floating around these days. What you get from AMR is second to none.
