One last question, what about the camber kits? Some said if you have A-Spec you don't need one, since Acura did not recommend on the package, but some suggested that get one no matter what. Did you have one put in?
Thanks!

Where are you located, i could help you if your close?

Speaking of alignment, if I have the shop to install the A-Spec Suspension for me, should I do alignment at the same time or should I wait and drive for few days to settle in and take it back for the alignment?
Thanks!

aspec is good for the price range and close to stock feel
if you want more adjustable go teins basic coilover.
I didnt need cambers but i put my campers out of spec so i had to get them.
drove over a few covered curbs during a snow storm.

A nice drop...but its kind of trick photography if you think of it...the first pic doesnt have the aspec bodykit, the second has the drop with the kit and makes it looked even more slammed...still has a nice stance though..

My A-Spec drop done at the dealer is not low at all, it was only about 1/4 inch, do you have any idea why? That's why I am going to get Tein S-tech springs. Do I have another choice? The dealer said that 1/4 inch is all they lower.

The Aspec lowered my 06 TSX a bit more than an inch and it was seriously noticeable.

What should I do now? Is there something wrong when they put it in? Isn't the lowering amount fixed?

How long have you had it installed.
It takes time to settle.

Aww, c'mon man! how are you gonna go from BBS RGR's to those! I'll admit the RGR's looked a little small but still.
I guess I might be a little biased, but i do think you could have gone with a classier wheel. I love everything else you have done so far though.

With my stock suspension the distance from the fender to the hub center was15 1/4"
With my Aspec suspension the distance from the fender to the hub center was 14 1/4"
So what you should do now is measure the distance from the fender to the hub center and see how close you are to 14 1/4"

Cali4tsx, thank you for giving me the dimensions of yours.
Currently my front is 15" from fender to the hub center in the front, and is 14 3/4" at the rear. I guess it's a little lower than stock but I want it to be lowered more.
I have ordered a set of TEIN S-Tech but I still have time to consider until I pick it up. Should I get S-tech or H-tech if I live in Toronto, Canada?
I couldn't find a pic on acurazine that's with either of the suspension on a 06-08 with stock rims. If anyone can help me out it will be much appreciated.

260 HP, cali4tsx!!!
I don't know what to say to thank the two of you for the pictures of the stock VS A-spec suspensions you have posted!! HAHA too bad I am not a girl. =)
I purchased my car a month ago brand new with the option a-spec suspension, and remember I said in another post that my dealer said it would only lower the car by 1/4 inch? I never thought my car was lowered.
I took your pictures, along with some other research, I went to the dealer today and showed them everything. They had actually installed a stock suspension to my "STOCK" suspension.
Anywaz, now it's solved, just waiting for my new a-spec suspension on my car.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be pissed. Who does the quality control and the pre pick-up check over there?

Well. they sold me a car and said they have installed the a-spec on and gave me a box of stock suspensions. However they are all stock!!!! I wondered why would they hire a technician who can't even tell between stock and A-spec???? Anywaz...

Haha yes I love Acurazine, 2 concerns though.......
1. I don't have an Acurazine.com sticker that I would proudly put on my car!!
2. I can't post pictures....
