Let me guess, you're Greek?

Looks good. You should join Team White Diamond. Speaking of which, we need some organization, eh?

I'll be honest, I'm not crazy about trickin' out cars and all...

However, today there was a show on ESPN2 (yeah, that's weird) where they reviewed the A-Spec. I must say it looked nice and the review was quite positive. As GaleForce said, if you got the money, why not?

Hey now, don't forget to get your car out of the road. I don't wanna see anymore casualties in here.

Patrida,

In Chicago i test drove an A-spec and it handled good but it sucked on these Chicago streets. I like the look of the A-spec just not the ride. I'm sure Astoria is the same way.

I just want to add the A-spec suspension. Don't care for the 18's, just makes the tires more expensive to replace in the long run. Although, I would like to test drive one with A-spec suspension first.

Nice car! Looks like you've got the 6MT, so there is no brake upgrade. All that would be left is the badge and steering wheel. Badge is about $20, and steering wheel is about $320. I've got some pics of the steering wheel in my gallery (link in my signature). I think it is pretty cool and feels much nicer, but some people may not care for it. I'd go for it.

Let us know what you think of the suspension and wheels after install. It really changes the personality of the car.

IMO, you really need good tires to take advantage of the A-Spec suspension. The A-Spec 18's, with wider rim and lower profile tire, produce a significantly wider contact patch. A nice summer tire on the 17's may get the job done, but will probably be about an inch narrower (contact patch) if you stick with a 235. If you have the EL42's, I would plan on upgrading the tires with the suspension. I drove for two days on EL42's with the A-Spec suspension while I waited for tires. They are serviceable with the stock suspension, but I felt they were completely inadequate with the A-Spec. With good rubber I was able to enjoy the full capabilities of the kit.

Besides not driving with the flag on there? Let's see it after you mod it up and it might not need anymore done to it.

Good luck
