I don't have an X but still appreciate those that go out of their way in making the aftermarket more available for our cars. Whether they come out and say it or not, I'm sure there's plenty that have benefited from this thread.

Don't let a couple of comments make you feel this was a wasted effort. I also really appreciate the effort put into this in order to get another suspension option for the X guys.

Agreed as well. I'm a new x owner to the forum and when I asked about coils / lowering the car, I was pointed multiple times to AMR. This just shows how many people are not only interested in this thread (whether they mention it or not) but are also implying that they strongly believe these AMR coils are going to be amazing!

Either way, thanks again for taking care of us G members, and hopefully this doesn't deter you from doing things like this again in the future.

I believe Sylo kindly wrote a review on these:

I know you've been having some headaches with the BC's. Hopefully the review helps.

My experience so far is as frustrating as anyone with BC.

I am still waiting for Emillion45 to post a review since he was working on getting these on his car for a long time now.

Yes I'm still alive!

The roads I commute on a daily basis are in horrific shape once all the snow melted. I bought a second car for daily commuting last week just for this reason. My G will not be a DD once these are installed.

Keep in mind guys I have the SPL Camber Links for the rear so the top mount will be completely different from the AMR.

Once I get this wheel bearing fixed in this ES300 I will be 100% operational for install and review.

I'm anticipating the outcome. Been doing a ton of research on spring rates as well and might be looking to increase the rate from what Andy sent me for handling purposes (moar race car)

After a huge repair bill on the ES300 I just find out it's a sticking caliper. Never ending I tell you! Hopefully after this weekend I will be good to go!

Okay so I had one HELL of a day. Started with the rear coils first. Started putting the SPL mid link on and realized.. The spring won't work because it is a graduated shape (2.5 on one end, 4" on the other) and too long (9") for the new mid link. So I had to throw oem spring and mid link back on and left the new AMR shock in place (Beautiful btw). I need to order a 7" 2.5 ID Hyperco spring ASAP to get this thing back on the road!

Install went fairly well. Removing everything for the first time takes getting used to but that's part of the learning process.

If anyone is interested, I don't need the rear springs/height adjusters. I have the brand new top spring isolator. Using the SPL instead to keep everything symmetric. These parts work flawlessly with OEM mid-links and are un-used.

I'll keep you guys posted!

Coils are installed! Everything fit like a glove. I have pictures and other goodies. Need an alignment before I write a review.
