hothonda, did you buy the a-spec package online and then use Acura/Bellevue for the install or go to Bellevue for both? Can you share overall cost of purchase/insall? Also, did you check into the a-spec wheels? Thanks and looks great.

on the front end when I purchased the car from Acura of Bellevue...The
18" Chrome A-Spec wheels were part of my deal. They also stocked the
darker 18's but I decided to go "chrome look" w/the C Silver...just a
cleaner look.
I did the suspension a week after I bought the car because of timing
to install on the car I wanted....it takes a tech about 1/2 day to install
+ 4 wheel alignment. They have all the best Hunter equipment to get
the car set up right. The proper equipment makes all the difference!
BTW, when an authorized dealer does the work, it has the factory
warranty which was important to me.
After the fact I saw the suspension for around $600 + 29 shipping from
Acura dealers in CA, which sounds like a great deal!

Steve, I agree makes sense to spend a bit more to get the warranty backup at the dealership. Good to know the kit is locally available at Bellevue.
From your other posts it appears that your initial impression of the Sport Pilot summer tires are not too good. Are you contemplating switching to an A/S tire or were you intending to switch back to the stock wheels/tires anyway for winter driving? Thanks.

Pirelli Neros, which are more all-season performance than all out "only" performance...we'll see!

"I've decided to try the Pirelli Neros"
The A/S version of the zero neros is exactly my direction too based on the good reports from hondamore and others here. Would appreciate any feedback you have on the Pirellis once you make the switch. Thanks again for your helpful posts and great pictures.

my best guess is about 1"lower from before and after....I'm still happy with the ASPEC suspension and I wouldn't own an RL without.
