Message	I'm looking to replace my control arms and tension rods when I replace my stock TT shocks with TEINs. I've heard very little about AMS components, but when I do hear something it's either 'I love them' or 'They're garbage'. The company is Canadian according to their website, but I hear rumors that it's stuff is Chinese built. Looking at the components, they look almost exactly like the Powertrix equipment, so I'm wanting to find out from the experts what the low down actually is. Are they good quality components for the Z32 or are they cheap knockoffs? Does anyone have experience with AMS suspension parts? I'm not planning on racing, but spirited driving and autocross are definitely in my future. Any comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

(n/m) - rojoloco (VA Beach) 10:03:50 04/27/12 funny thing is, they should be WAY cheaper in price if - LJZTT 13:13:28 04/27/12 it feels great that the site is educating ppl - jzx 15:41:14 04/27/12 There is a reason they look like Powertrix equipment. - rojoloco (VA Beach) 09:15:19 04/27/12 Disagree. AMS is made for cheapskates, not for enthusiasts. - Aqualung 10:14:48 04/27/12 I agree, Charles has the best Chinese parts. - Multi_Read (MO) 10:31:55 04/27/12 You are wrong. Nothing of his is made in China. (n/m) - rojoloco (VA Beach) 10:57:17 04/27/12 Where is it made? (n/m) - Multi_Read (MO) 11:13:55 04/27/12 I'd like to know as well. Or are we just assuming like usual (n/m) - gnozahs 18:11:17 04/27/12 Assuming like usual. Par for the course. (n/m) - jschrauwen 19:25:07 04/27/12 You are assuming I am assuming. I know with certainty. - rojoloco (VA Beach) 20:45:36 04/27/12 sold by a god? - aliaZ 00:17:16 04/28/12 Not at all. SPL is quality stuff. - rojoloco (VA Beach) 09:59:14 04/28/12 ah ok - aliaZ 10:54:00 04/28/12 Same source maybe, but SPL had them built to their own spec. (n/m) - Guapo 14:16:16 04/28/12 Same with Powertrix. - rojoloco (VA Beach) 21:52:34 04/28/12 If you're going to copy, might as well copy from the best. (n/m) - Guapo 10:20:59 04/29/12 Which is what we see in AMS choosing to copy Powertrix. (n/m) - rojoloco (VA Beach) 12:26:00 04/29/12 Fine with me if you put Ptrix on the same level as AMS (n/m) - Guapo 19:43:15 04/29/12 You seem to think Powertrix copied SPL. - rojoloco (VA Beach) 05:40:30 04/30/12 SPL has always been top quality. Not so much PT. - Guapo 09:37:07 04/30/12 To be honest, PT was higher than SPL is many regards. - rojoloco (VA Beach) 12:03:51 04/30/12 Uh, yeah right. If you say so ... (n/m) - Guapo 14:44:31 04/30/12 Travis. You're simply not correct in your assumptions. (n/m) - Bernie (NoVA) 15:38:39 04/30/12 I'll admit there is room for error in some of SPL's history. - rojoloco (VA Beach) 19:47:33 04/30/12 I for one am glad that you're posting the question rather - PiotrC70 09:17:44 04/27/12 Agreed.
