you weren't thread jacking. you actually brought up thoughtful counterpoints which this platform is sadly missing in all of its aspects. suspension in particular.

honestly, i just find it hard to believe that tein really and truly put together a suspension solution that is faster than the other guys out there given the same car and driver in an unlimited class time attack. unlimited class means serious money, and means access to jrz, ohlins, moton.

From my meager understanding of coilovers I know the things that can be adjusted are the valving (using/rearranging the deflected discs) and the spring rate...

Do they have any plans to release something off the shelf? Also for which Fit chassis is AMR going to make the coilovers for, GDs or GEs or both?

This looks pretty interesting...subscribed for updates

Now that they moved to the Unlimited Class, I believe that they should upgrade to something like JRZ, Moton, or Ohlins. The TEIN SRC was perfect when they were running in the Modifiied Class

I have the US GD, don't know if they are making sets for the 2nd gen.
from what i understand, off-the-shelf does not exist at AMR. which is fine even if you aren't sure exactly what you want because you have to talk to the guys at amr anyway at some point. andy did a great job with helping me choose my spring rates.
