Opinion: A spec suspension or not ?

Can you guys check this out and tell me if you think this car has the A Spec suspension or not?

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...ce=&cardist=96


Obviously it has the aero kit and 19's - but I've never seen an A Spec RL in person so I cant tell - and it's a private dealer so he's A-Spec clueless and cant help. It's a 100 mile one way trip for me to check it out

OTOH: the car has lots of upgrades: wood knob, park sensors.

Thanks in advance.

Get the dealer to measure the height of the car before you drive there. Doesn't the A-Spec lower the car? Someone here, I'm sure, knows what the height difference is supposed to be.

.75" drop
and I thought A-Spec wheels came in 18, not 19.

Yup, Acura makes the Aspec rims in 18s, not 19s

I think that the same car another user was looking at recently, and asked the same question.

With that said, it looks lowered. The only way to know for sure is to ask the previous owner, which the dealer should be able to do easily.

I still think the A-Spec suspension is worth every penny.
