I just had the A-Spec suspension installed on my CSM RL (owned since 6/05). The handling is alot better with less body roll. I still have my 17s on; but my next step is to get the 18s or at least better tires for the 17s.

Post some pictures with the new suspension and the stock 17s.

How much did you pay for the suspension and installation?

I will as soon as I can.

The suspension was $632.00 including shipping and the install was around $550, including an alignment.

Congrats. If you happen to want pilot sports a/s for the 17's, I am selling mine as I am upgrading to the 18".

But, please post pics... if you need anybody to host them PM me and I will host them for you.

"or at least better tires for the 17s"


I am a very recent convert to the Pilot Sport A/S tire having just changed this week. I have kept the stock 17" wheels. The change in tire makes a considerable difference (better) that is noticeable immediately. Smoother, quieter ride and the cornering improvement is great. Only regret is that I didn't do this earlier. Thanks to all those here that contributed their similar experiences.

Since you have gone to the a-spec suspension, you HAVE to make the tire change. If you go the the 18" then that opens up a broader selection of tires but you won't go wrong if you stay with the 17s and go with the Pilot Sport A/S, imho. Tiretrack advised me that this tire is the state of the art in terms of an A/S tire and I can't argue with that.

Thanks for the info. I just need to make a decision on which way to go.
