An available sport suspension kit including all four shock absorbers and springs is scheduled for release shortly after the TL launch. Known as the "A-SPEC" kit, it provides firmer damping and spring rates for sportier handling. A lower ride height further distinguishes the Sport Suspension-equipped TL cosmetically.

The A-SPEC kit includes:

Pre-assembled performance springs and shocks that lower the vehicle approximately 1.2 in. (30 mm)
18-inch wheels with 235/40ZR18 Yokohama AVS ES100 tires
Aero kit
Rear spoiler
Special steering wheel with distinctive shape and stitching
Performance brake pads (for automatic transmission vehicles only)
A-SPEC badging


Enjoy!

 

More TL info...

"From a handling standpoint, the new TL chassis was designed to challenge the BMW 530i Sport, a magazine comparison favorite.

To accomplish this, engineers focused on creating a rigid platform with a performance-tuned suspension and large tires. The large tire contact patches improve braking and handling with all-season tires. Available high-performance tires boost acceleration, handling and braking capability even higher on both dry and wet surfaces.

The TL has excellent dynamic properties. It feels crisp and taut, corners flat and offers a high level of grip-even with four passengers aboard. In internal testing, both TL models (5-speed Sequential SportShift automatic transmission and 6-speed manual transmission) surpass the 2003 BMW 530i and the Lexus ES 300 in a 600-ft. slalom exercise and in maximum cornering capability."

 

Does anyone have any idea how much this kit is gonna run for?
Thanks,

 

Prices wont be out until the end of the month for anything. The A-spec, will be out after the TL, so I am guessing October at the earliest.

 

Thanks for the input

 

This may be a stupid question, but where has this been confirmed? I do not see it on the Acura or Honda Website? I know Edmund's and a few other sites are reporting it, but with all of the previous rumors that have been floating around for months that never turned out to be true, I just want to confirm it.

I wonder about cost, too. Sounds great, though!

 

I saw it on the Edmunds site and reported it a couple of days ago. I called my dealer the next day and asked when they're accepting deposits....

but ill probably wont be seeing myself driving the 04 for another 2 years

 

Thanks for the info. Now we just need a price. Any GUESSES?

 

In that case...maybe it'll be an 06
