Hey guys,

Is there any interest for a group buy through hondaacuraworld with Tim for the 06-07 aspec suspension? Post up if interested

CGTSX07

im interested. I was looking at getting some Tein SS coilovers but if the price is right i'd settle for the Aspec suspension.

jwood_06TSX

I don't know if i am allowed to post the price but i talked to Tim and he said the 06-07 suspension changed a little and if we get 3 people it would $600 shipped!

Mod's if i am not suppose to post the price (Tim will eventually), just edit my post and take it out.

oh boy.

i would be, but i don't know if now is the right time. i'm thinking of getting the bodykit right now.

$600ish?

jwood_06TSX

Is the question mark for the $600 being the price of the supension or the body kit? The body kit runs about $900 shipped....

? was for the suspension. i've seen it for about that much. i think curry acura has it for $575 with $45 shipping.

that might be the lowest i've seen it.

The heck with them

What if I said I'll go $575 INCLUDING shipping?

It'll be tight, but why not

xjohnkdoex

iTrader: (2)

$575 is very competitive and tempting.

i may have to purchase and hide from the wife

jwood_06TSX

haha....DO IT!! And i have been shopping around for the suspension for a long time and yes you are correct, Curry Acura has the cheapest price at $575 plus 45 shipped if you win the bid at $575 though. Otherwise, its more!

$575 DEF works for me Tim, i'm in for sure!

so what IS the difference between these and the 04-05? if there is really a difference that matters, i'm interested.

jwood_06TSX

I'm not exactly sure what the differences are, maybe Tim can help elaborate on this a little bit.....

so is $575 the official price? With or without shipping? And this is for either the 06-07 MT or AT??

xjohnkdoex

iTrader: (2)

$575 shipped. damn. how many ppl do we need to make this a reality? my brain and wallet say no, but my desire to mod my car says yes. i can already predict the conversation at home--

'why do we have $575 dollars missing from our account?'

'i don't know. fuzzy math?'

jlukja

I'm curious about this as well.

jwood_06TSX

To answer all the questions except the one about the differences between the 04-05 to 06-07's, Tim is Hondaacuraworld and from his post above he said $575 INCLUDING shipping! This price is for both AT and MT, all you need to do is specify the difference when you buy it due to the slightly different spring rates. AND, he said we only need 3 people to make it happen and it looks like that might be possible.

You can count me in on the $575 price for the A-spec suspension.

I now have to order the Comptech RSB to complete the set-up. After driving my 06 TSX for 8 months with the stock set-up, the car really needs the upgraded suspension (too much body roll and squatting on braking).

jwood_06TSX

SWEET fellas!! Tim will most likely respond with further instructions sometime soon and we may even have more by then too.

Hopefully some others can jump on board too to get a great deal and help out Tim a little to for bringing the price down

Here are the 3 to get the group buy with hopes of more to come:

still thinking...info on the differences between the 04/05's would be cool, too.

EuRTSX

I would like to know the differences as well.

I won't purchase this now, but I can probably purchase it through Tim later.

jlukja

This is just a group buy feeler thread. If there is sufficient minimum number of members interested, and it looks like there is, then the actual group buy thread should be posted by Tim in Black Market / Sponsored Sales & Group Buys.

jwood_06TSX

Thanks Jan, i didn't really know what happened from here....lol. Do we leave this thread here until he sees there are enough people and he posts it in the black market section or does something need to happen?

Eurtsx - Is the timing just not right for you, or do you just really need to know what the differences are?

EuRTSX

Kinda both. Timing is not right, because one, all my moneys gone from buying school books, and Im building up my income slowing and expecting a raise from my job this month. Also, the Moderator that pummel my face whilst Im wearing rollerskate shoes (CGTSX2004) which is viewing this thread right now has 04-05 A-Spec suspension on his 2006 NHP TSX at the moment (I think). I just want to know why they have different part numbers and just as curious as Mr. Bond up there.

If I don't make it to this group buy, I'll buy them in the summer. Hopefully Tim will let me buy the suspension at the same cost and maybe others will also be interested in purchasing the suspension as well.

xjohnkdoex

iTrader: (2)

kinda in the same boat. i'm looking to tint my windows when it gets warmer, and the OEM body kit. i'm also going to italy for 2 weeks (end of the month). i want the suspension b/c i know down the road i want to install it, but my spending for the car since i got it has been unstoppable. but i'm glad there are enough ppl for the group buy. if i can manage it, i'll hop in.

jwood_06TSX

I can def understand that as i just graduated last june and have loans and such!

As for the differences, i just called 4 differenet acura dealerships and got 4 different answers, most of which were them making up stuff caue they didn't know....lol. So, with that being said, i am just going to wait until Tim reads this and hopefully can explain it. I tried to call him but they said he went for the day. So we'll get some info tomorrow! I honestly don't know how there can be much of a difference however, an ebay dealer has the 06-07 costing $30 more so who knows....lol. I just know i need a new suspension to get rid of the brake dive, and body roll cause and lower it a little bit!!

kuri

I'd like to know what the difference between 04-05's and the 06-07's is as well. More importantly, will the 06-07's fit on a 04-05 TSX?

I assume it's just damping & spring rate changes, but can anyone confirm?

jwood_06TSX

Ok guys,

So i called Acura last night and talked to a guy in the client services department and looked up the A spec suspension for me and said that he couldn't find any significant differences between the two. He even searched their archives for any information or bulletins regarding my information request and all he came up with is that is seems the group part number for the 04-05's is 08W60-SEC-200A & B for the AT and the MT and the for the 06-07's is the same part number except its a C & D at the end for the AT and MT. Other than that he said they are the same thing from what his parts book showed......I am still waiting to hear back from one other source i contacted and will post when i get a response.

And to attempt to answer the question above, the bolt pattern hasn't change on the kit so the 06-07 will "fit" on an 04-05 but if there would be any "issues" with it, i do not know. I will try and see what i can find out about that today as well!


So anyone with an 06 or an 07 that is interested in the a spec group buy, Tim should be posting in the tread with terms and conditions in the proper section sometime later today.




Not sure if Moda_way checks this thread, but Ryan, can you check your parts catalog or contact your source at Acura and see if you can find out any details?

Savio

What about for the 04/05 AT? Can you price those in?

jwood_06TSX

That is the thing, when i talked to Tim he said that he thinks it will only work for the 06-07's due to the slight change in the part numbers. Don't quote me on that but i think that was the reason but it looks likes this particular GB would be for the 06-07. I am also still waiting to get feedback on whether or not these 06-07's would fit on an 04-05 or not too and will post when i find out!

jwood_06TSX

Ok guys the question i asked the guy was "Was there any significant changes in spring rates, ride height, or anything like that? " Here is the response i got "Not that we can tell; initially the 2004 – 2005 kit was listed for the 2006. Then with the 2007 TSX’s release they listed a new kit which was for the 2006 – 2007. We believe the suspensions are the same but the factory created a new part number to coincide with the new body style and new complete A-Spec kit (of which the suspension is a part)."

This supports my other information that i recieved from the customer service guy i talked to last night. So i would assume that they would be interchangable and that there is no difference, just part numbers due to the change in body style and the a spec body kit which is usually sold together as a whole A spec package.

So we still have our 3 for the GB and anyone else feel free to add to the list...

I mean it's only a wild guess at this point that it will work. I would guess it would, but I would have also guessed that the 07 TL mirrors with the directional lights would work in 04-06 (they don't).

I swear I remember somebody installing this before, but I think I've only ever sold at most two of these kits, personally......

puiyingbread

any gd deal on 06 & 07 body kit?

xjohnkdoex

iTrader: (2)

i tried asking about if they could offer a group buy price for the 06/07 body kit for the TSX like the one they offered to TL owners, but they mentioned that as the kit pieces are much larger than the TL's, it'd be more difficult to ship as one so they couldn't do it.

is that still the case hondaacuraworld?

jwood_06TSX

I was starting to think about that as well actually....lol I'll start another thread for that one once this group buy get finalized by Tim in the black market section.

EDIT: ^ i'm not sure actually, that is a good question. Tim will probably respond when he reads this.

pjthang

Does Hondacuraworld world have any inventory of the 08W60-SEC-200A or B, for the 04-05's? If so, can they be made available for the group buy?

jwood_06TSX

As i stated above....

So i don't think it will happen on this one.....he will clarify details i'm sure when he posts up.

xjohnkdoex

iTrader: (2)

you know what'd be sweet?

if he could bundle the a-spec OEM body kit and suspension together. for a lower price. although i'm sure the group buys would work better w/ the two separate. just saying, though.

Savio

I'd definitely be down for that. I've been wanting to buy both...though I do have an 05.

jwood_06TSX

haha...ya know what, i think i would def do that. So technically, if you wanted too, that makes 2 and we would only have to find a 3rd to make it happen IF it was even possible. I have a feeling Tim went home for the weekend already, so i'll give him a call next week. BUT, that would be pretty sweet!....lol


EDIT: ^ Due to the part numbers being totally different on the aspec packages for the body kit, suspension, wheels, and such, he wouldn't be able to mix the 04-05 with the 06-07's for a package.

xjohnkdoex

iTrader: (2)

would he consider making such a package though? i mean, with the caveat that parts/years can't be mixed and 04/05 and 06/07 owners must specify their year and buy the parts for that year?

i've looked around and the best offer i've gotten for the body kit (no spoiler) so far is $875 shipped.

so we're talking a bundle of around $1450 if, say, the suspension remains at $575 and he could offer the kit at $875 or less. let's make a deal!!!
