I got my new car a couple of months ago, its an 2007 black TSX with full OEM body Kit and spoiler. I have been just studying and searching for upgrades and finding out where to start with upgrading my car. I recently registered with AcuraZine and have been reading up on everything that has been posted. i also talked to a guy that works at the Acura parts department and learned a lot of things that i didn't know about the car, that the sales man didn't talk to me about. If you want to know what i was told about the Acura dealer i went to, just comment me back with our questions.

So i hope you like where i started with my car.

Wow looks great!

1st upgrade... TEIN Suspension



What TEIN can do for you.

pacman821

yea thats what i was looking at getting, but the thing is, i had TEIN suspensions before in my older car and it was pretty bumpy when i would be driving on bad roads. so now im living in Virginia and there are a lot of crappy roads here and im not sure if i want to sacrifice the softer stock suspension

Wisc Badger

looks pretty good... i almost did the same to my 07 NBP with the sparkle silver 17"s and oem spoiler but i went a different route.

take a look

With all those A-Spec upgrades, you should put the A-Spec emblem on the back.

xenonhid:

drigo

nice ride...congrats
love those wheels

CGTSX07

it looks like you are just missing the a-spec suspension. the ride quality remains the same, but you get a pretty aggresive drop with the 06-07 a-spec suspension.

your car looks great btw! I am done modding my car for now, but I am considering purchasing the a-spec wheels in the future.

pacman821

how considerable is it lowered?
how do i get the A-spec suspension?
is there an A-spec package that i dont know about?

i just want to know that i got what i payed for. the dealership wasnt helpful at all.

CGTSX07

the suspension lowers the car about 1.25" I believe. The A-Spec performance package includes:

Sport suspension system
17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels
Underbody spoiler kit
Wing spoiler
Exterior Badging

did you purchase the A-spec package???

pacman821

i have everything on that list besides Exterior badging and the sport suspension system. i also checked the Acura web site and they do not talk about any A-spec packages, plus no one toled me about it. do you think i was ripped off? should i go back to the dealer and ask wtf is going on.

Looks like another reason to have one more meet before the summer ends.

CGTSX07

All of that was taken from my 2007 Acura TSX brochure. You can buy each item in the A-Spec package seperately though. For example, if I just want the wheels, I can just purchase the wheels. It might just be that they added the body kit and the wheels, but not the entire package.

EuRTSX

There are always a couple preconfigured TSX's on the lot. When I got my car, there were a couple preconfigured TSX's with A-Spec body kits, even without the suspension.

Some even had the full performance package installed. Just depends on what you get/ask/choose.

pacman821

well when i got the car it was all stock and i added the OEM body kit and the rims but was never asked if i wanted the A-spec package.

i dont think the suspension kit is worth it anymore, because i live in Virginia and when i drive up to DC the roads are hell there. so pretty much im looking at a reflash (Hondata) and parts from Comptech.

BTW are Comptech part good? on a scale of 1 through 10 where do they sit?

EuRTSX

Comptech RSB is a must for this car. You'll be amazed with the results.

Pacman whats your Tint %? Looks good...

pacman821

its 50% front windows, 35% rear windows

pacman821

its 50% front windows, 35% rear windows. it was the darkest i can go in Virgina.

pacman821

what kind of results am i going to get with a Comptech RSB?

CGTSX07

The RSB will tighten the rear suspension, which will give you increased handling performance. The stock RSB is something like 16mm thick and the progress/comptech RSB is ~22mm thick so it is a pretty drastic difference.
