TSX A-spec

Anyone have the TSX A-spec?

1. How much did it end up costing you?
2. Any significant driving differences?
3. Do they boost the engine power?
4. Worth it?
5. Comments?

I would encourage you to do a search as there are several threads on this topic.

1. I only have the A-spec suspension and the parts costed me $575+shipping
2. The cornering is much better w/o the sacrifice of handling -- I also have it paired with a Comptech Rear Sway + better tires
3. The A-spec kit does not include any engine performance -- I have a Comptech Ice Box/Hondata Heatgasket but others have an Injen or K&N CAI.
4. I think the suspension kit is.
5. I would by pieces of the kit (ie suspension and body kit) from eBay. You will get a better price rather than buying from the dealership you may have bought your car from.

Did you maybe mean "ride" in there somewhere? Otherwise, how would improved cornering negatively impact handling, or vice versa?

Thanks for the correction. When I mentioned handling I was referring to the overall ride. In my past experience anytime I lowered my car, I impacted the naturally smooth ride. Since you are getting a more aggressive spring/shock combination with the A-spec kit, you achieve a tighter suspension w/o the heavy sacrifice of the smooth ride.
