Re: EK AMR coilover install
Just got my set, havent driven on em yet. the bolt holding the LCA to the chassis snapped on me... damn 16 yr old bolts. so far they look amazing. the quality definitely shows. ill will update when i get to beat on em a little bit? one question, should i allow a little bit of time to break in the dampers, or just put them through there paces right away?

Don't piddy paddle, and half *** it with my stuff. No need to wait to break them in. Go get an alignment, and do it right, and once you do go out and beat on them. Enjoy!
You will enjoy them, and that bolt is notorious for that. We ALWAYS let those soak in a little PB blaster before we proceed with an installation. Unfortunately we do not include new LCA bolts, but you should have received a new pair of nuts with your order.

Re: EK AMR coilover install
Normally no, because the rear lower mounts are different. The EK rear lower mount is quite a bit more narrower, about 10mm. We have both lower mounts, and depending on the set, and how it was built it may be interchangeable. Our newer kits are because we use our new EG/DC2 1pc lower mounts on our EK setups. We do however still carry, and offer our direct fit EK lower mounts, but most have opted to go with our EG mounts instead for some flexibility.

bump bump bump, was literally in the process of ordering my GC/Koni setup within the week, when I came across Andy and his AMR coils. I am definitely re-thinking my decision and may end up going with the AMR setup after all for my Ek Hatch. CANT WAIT!!!

You should do it! Still going strong. If I ever build another Honda I'll definitely call Andy.
