I've wanted an AMS Alpha 9 since they came out, but I can't fit my family into a gtr. This could be the best news ever for MB fans, AMS does beautiful work. I'd still give 'em at least a year to figure out what breaks and how to reinforce it...sounds like built tranny at least, maybe axles...

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. These units are indeed ready and available for sale but due to stocking levels we have been a little apprehensive to release them. Right now due to machine time we would need a car here for about 5-6 weeks to properly perform this upgrade. For us its important to not be a company that "releases" a product only to take forever to ship something. We don't like to take anyone's money until we have something we can ship out in a reasonable period of time

Vossen CV7, they come in 20" only and the width are 9" and 10.5" so run staggered setup. The front is basically flat and the rear is concave. Not the lightest, but look good. The rears are 56lbs with 285/25/20 Pilot Super Sport tires.
Since you have an E63, here you go.

we did indeed take our car to that 1/2 mile event. We were trying to use the day as a way to continue to calibrate our Tune but overall the testing went well despite not getting a flawless pass.
