There are official Acura dealers on Ebay that sell the whole A-Spec package. You can check it out yourself to see the details of what comes in the package.

A Cdn dealer wanted $2,125, tax-in, installed, including an alignment, for the A-Spec suspension kit.

I just ordered the parts from www.curryacuraparts.com; if Fedex brokerage fees and Cdn duties are less than $700 then I'll have saved.

Just the suspension? Ouch! When I had it on my car, I got it for $850, installation and alignment included. Hopefully you won't be paying much more than that....

The cost of just the struts and springs is $1425Cdn vs $775Cdn to the border, from Curry Acura. Then add duty, Fedex brokerage fees (if any), Cdn taxes, plus $3XX installation, plus 1XX alignment. Itès just a question of how many hundreds am I saving by buying from the US.

Check Delray Acura. I believe their website is acuraoemparts.com.

Man, that sucks bro! Hope you get everything done at a modest price.

Hey everyone, thanks for the info.

FedEx just delivered the A-Spec struts/springs I ordered 5 days ago from Curry Acura ($715US, delivered); I'm $600-700 ahead, and might do the insatllation myself, too - hey, the springs, as someone here pointed out - are already mounted.

Another thread indicated that Koni Yellows would be a good choice for a new shock, if I was keeping the original springs. A local speed shop gave me a quote for $1000 for those, plus $400 for installation.

I did the install myself, which paid for the two new rear endlinks ($191 Cdn, which the dealer might have also needed), and some more tools. I still have the alignment to do, so at least a $600 net saving, and a world of difference on the road.

Glad you like your new suspension. I enjoyed it when it was on the car, but now went for something more aggressive.

BTW, if anyone else out there is looking for A-Spec suspension, I have mine for sale here:
