I just got my stock suspension swamped in favor of the A-Spec. I have Ingalls 38725 camber/toe kit in the rear. I had to get the Ingalls kit re-installed because of an error on the shop's part. The lesson: the LONGER rod (corrects toe) must be installed closer to the rear of the car. The SHORTER rod (corrects camber) must be installed closer to the front of the car. I went to Firestone and were able to get all parameters back into specification.

As you can see the drop is negligible. However, the handling is a lot tighter now with less roll. Enjoy.







With A-spec Suspension and A-Spec Body Kit

 

looks almost identical? Looks hot though !!

 

Yeah, too bad it looks almost identical. I wish it lowered it by another 0.5". But if I go lower I'll run into problems in the area I live in. I barely got onto the alignment machine at Firestone without my front spoiler getting scraped off.

 

but what about handling? ride? ramp jumping?.....

 

yeah looks to close to same to warrant the $600 they charge for aspec. for the same price you can get TEIN basic coilovers.

 

Yes...but remember what I said about being too low in Houston? It's not practicable to be lowered over 1.0" in Houston. It's just asking for trouble everywhere you go. So I'm satisfied with the drop.

As far as handling, it is excellent. The comfort level is near-stock. There are no squeeks in the suspension.

On the highway, I can safely take highway interchanges (they have a gradual curve) at maybe 80 mph. As for "ramp jumping," I'm not sure what you mean. But can I get up the entrance ramps to supermarkets and stores easily? Yes, I can going at an angle (which is how I always approach entrance ramps no matter what car I'm in).

 

Mine dropped by more than that. I noticed about 3/4-1" drop on all sides. I went from a 4.5 finger gap on the front to a 3 finger gap in front and from a 3.5 finger gap to a 2 finger gap in back.
As for handling, I noticed about a 5-mph limit increase on turns. As in a turn that I maxed out at 50, I can now take at 55. It also doesn't roll as much and generally feels more stable in tight, fast turns. The ride is the same. I haven't noticed it being any rougher really.
I got a much more noticeable improvement in handling when I upgraded to a Comptech RSB.

 

Looks about the same for me i'm happy with my aspec suspension got it from hondaacura world group buy 585. Stiffer ride less body roll, handle curves smooth.

lcrazyaznl: Your drop looks a lot lower than mine. How long did it take for your springs to settle? As for the pic you posted above, when was that taken (immediately after the drop or a couple of weeks)?
