Anyone have any experiences with this kit? I've done a search here and on google, but haven't come across any actual reviews/user experiences.

Debating between AMR and the Skunk2 Pro Series kit. Mainly looking to hear about the durability of their ball joints and shock tower clearance.

What chassis do you have?

Skunk2 is known to blow the ball joints quick.

AMR isn't exactly known for customer service being up to par.

Personally I would look into Hardrace or PCI's new version.

Thanks for your input and links. This is going on a DC Integra.

I've also been comparing the Skunk2 and Hardrace kits. Like you mentioned, the Skunk2 is known to have weak ball joints, but they seem to have the most shock tower clearance. Hardrace looks real solid overall and comes with new bushings, but does the top mounted bolts making adjusting that much more difficult? Also, shock tower clearance looks a bit more compromised with the Hardrace kit due to the overall bulkiness of the arms and ball joint. I will only be lowered 1"-1.5" max though so not sure if shock tower clearance will even be an issue at that height.

 

I have had the AMR engineering ones on my car for almost 3 years now and they still kicking!

 

I couldn't comment on the AMR, I think Andy made nice stuff but I never had the reason to switch. With that said, I have run the Skunk 2 for years and while my ball joints are still ok, the boots are torn. I refuse to give Junk2 anymore of my money so I bought Duralast replacements. They don't fit exactly because the Skunk2 balljoint flange is really small. So you have to make a new top bracket that clamps. Milling the Junk2 one would make the material paper thin.

 

Good to know! Have you had any clearance issues with the shock towers? The AMRs do look pretty bulky compared to the Skunk2 arms.

Thanks for the input. If I go with Skunk2, I'd probably replace the boots with OEM prior to installing since it seems like the boots are garbage.

 

I'm pretty sure Hardrace, AMR, and Truhart are all the same. Look at the arms, they are identical. On a DC2 you will lose travel, I had Hardrace and lost more travel that I was comfortable with.

PCI gen 1's used upward swept tubing to correct this issue, the Gen 2's have similar geometry to stock to maintain travel.

If its a serious track car I would look into PCI. If its for a daily I would just buy which ever is cheapest (truhart). Only being lowered 1"-1.5" from stock you likely wont have travel issues.

 

Just a FYI, we are about 2-3 weeks back ordered on the EG/DC2 kit again. EK kits will be available next week once our shipment from Prothane come in.

Rear camber kits are in stock, Function 7 parts in stock, as well as enough parts machined to assemble a few set of coilovers too.

Oh yah EF kits are in stock!

 

And our coilovers of course Thanks for the support Myles.

 

My DC2 has AMR Front Cambers with the Harden Rubber option. Previous were Hardrace which came standard with Harden Rubber. Difference is negligible. I did notice the car feeling bit stiffer in corners, personally it feels nicer on exit corners. (Maybe due to using the old worn Hardrace for sometime).

I like the extra backing plate, made life easier when adjusting even while you're on track days. I do not like the Allen Key style bolts though so I may change to HT Hex's. I prefer the standard Hex Bolt simply due to 1) sometimes hard to find in that diameter, 2) inconsistent with the other type of bolts in the car (Honda's usually like Hex 8, 10, 12, 14, 17) & 3) if for whatever reason the Allen key slot strips I will have a hard time fixing it.

FYI Suspension combo is Tein SRC 22K Front 20K Rear with F7 LCA, ASR 32mm RSB, AMR Front Camber & Hardrace Rear spherical Camber Arms
