OK,

So as most of you know I'm putting all my stock parts back on. So I did the suspension the other day and the car was high as hell! So I figured, ok it's probably just my mind, because the car was so low for so long.

Then I figured, ok maybe it needs to settle. However, after a few days now, it's still crazy high! I don't get it... The car drives perfectly though, no problems what so ever. So I figure there was nothing wrong with the install, otherwise I would feel it in the ride. So here's what I'm thinking and I was wondering if you guys had any answers.

1) I put on CCColts old shock/spring set. So is the 04 part # the same as the 05 for both of those parts?

2) Is the automatic tranny part number for the STOCK shocks the same as the manual? I know it is different for a-spec, I'm wondering about stock.

Anything else anyone can think of?

I would think that the stock springs are probably different too since the AT is a fair amount heavier than the MT.

I just did a quick check on Acura OEM Parts and found this for the front shock absorber.

2005 6MT

Part number: 51605-SEC-A04


2004 5AT

Part number: 51605-SEC-A02



So I guess they are different part numbers for the stock shocks too.

TSX.Fury

hmmmmm... so do we think that could make enough of a difference to look like this?

I'll tell you if it looks odd when I see your car on Sunday.

TSX.Fury

Oh, it def looks odd I'm just wondering if I could sell it to CarMax or the dealer this way or if I have to change it...

TSX.Fury

Ok, I just went and checked, and the difference is only like 90lbs... would 90lbs really make that much of a difference?

We'll see on Sunday. Worse comes to work, you'll have to find a buyer for that AT suspension, but at least you'll have a factory MT suspension available to you right there for you to purchase.

TSX.Fury

Lol... shit... that's true

Dude, Carmax isn't going to give a damn about it. Stop sweating, its a stock suspension!

TSX.Fury

Lol, you are probably right, but wait until you see it... lol it looks wack!

I really doubt carmax would even notice it at all. I doubt they will notice the window trim you have too still. I had never thought about the suspensions being different though. Someone will buy the car and lower it or it will be some old lady and she wont care.

So when I saw it today, we measured it and it was indeed about a 1/2-inch higher than a stock suspension. Not enough for someone like carmax or even the average buyer to notice, but certainly enough for any of us enthusiasts.

this definitly needs a picture to be posted cause that thing has to look like an extreme 4x4.

Fury, just outta curiousity, are you willing to swap tails since you're going back to stock?

You're about a week late.

BTW, Kevin, do you have Ben's number?

I just measured 27" from ground to fender lip at my rears, and 27 3/8 & 27 1/2 at my fronts, with stock 06 suspension, and very low mileage on the car.
