Default Is Amr engineering still in business??

I've been trying to get ahold of Amr engineering for a couple weeks now with no luck. Can anyone confirm that they are still available ? I’m ready to order my coilovers.
Also can anyone answer whether or not the amr coilovers adjust ride height through the shock body or through the spring preload ?
I was going to go with ground control coilovers but I don’t like that they lower height through spring preload perch which causes a loss in shock travel.
Turn around time on GC coils is a few days and I’ve read that Amr coils are a few weeks.

Thank you in advance for for anyone who can answer my questions

Trying to get these tires tucked asap

AMR's are full body adjustable. You can adjust ride height independent of spring position.

not sure if they're in business.

Have you called them? Or just email?

Koni/GC works best with like a 1.25 or 1.38" max drop. Not really the system you want if you want to slam the car.

thanks for the info on the height adjustment it looked to be that way but just wanted some confirmation.
I’ve called multiple times, emailed, tried their website live chat, hit them up on Facebook and Instagram!

The ground control setup I am looking at is a full Coilover
they have up to 4in of lowering but it’s all through preload and loss of stroke in the damper which I don’t like.

not to be confused with GC/Koni setup

^That kit looks like it includes custom shortened koni yellows that can slip down on the shock fork further also.

Nice idea by GC.

Unfortunately....

You'll still have issues with the UCA hitting the shock tower.

You need to lose bump travel to some extent so that the bump stop is active early enough to prevent that.

If you just lower the car and keep a lot of shock travel...something else is going to hit something else.

The reason the stock shocks are the length they are is so that the shock and bumpstop control wheel movement.

You can customize all of that with a full body coilover by using a measuring tape and an hour or so of setup time.

Have you tried Fortune Auto?

I understand all of that

I ended up ordering the ground control special purpose coilovers
I ended up opening a wholesale account with them through my shop sooo yeah
