06 Nhb

Hey so I have been "lurking" for awhile and based on everyones opinions and experiences I picked up a 6spd tsx then put an Aspec suspension on it. I just thought I would post for another example of the look of the Aspec and short review, after reading a million questions about people undecided. I would say the Aspec is noticeable when cornering (much better feel, like more stable) but as others have said the ride "comfort" is just as good if not better, than stock. And with regards to the lowered look, it is not too drastic of a change from stock but noticeable. I like the look better now than before, but if my wife didnt drive it 70 miles a day freeway and comfort wasnt as big of a deal than I would prefer to lower it more (I try and rationalize my choice of the Aspec over something that would lower it more by saying my wife would not enjoy the ride comfort as much if I lowered it more w/ expensive teins or mismatched nonoem eibach pro's....). Anyway I now have $500 that is burning a hole in my pocket....any ideas on what I should spend it on....
-body kit (I hear not much difference with the 06+ years)(could make it look more "lowered"...)
-RSB
-really want new tires (get rid of the oem mich.)
-lip style spoiler
....if I only had about 1500 more ha anyway
here is the link to the picture

Lovely car. Just curious, what'd it set you back to put the Aspec suspension on there? DIY or have a shop do it?

With only $500? Then, dun think about body kit for now, they cost at LEAST $860 for the OEM's.. needless to say about the aftermarket's...

New tires? i dunno, isnt mich's good enough? well, for daily driving.

Then, yea... +1 on RSB and lip spoiler. they should cost around 200 only.

THen, save up the rest for your... Future body kits ...etc.. =)

RSB will compliment the A-spec suspension very nicely. I've got the Progress sway bar and it's a great improvement, especially for the price.
