So, I'm sitting at work... twitching... because tomorrow is THE day! It's not coming fast enough! I'm gonna be installing my TEIN SS coils, TL-S ASPEC Kit, and my AEM Cai...! They're all patiently waiting in my garage! (Much more patient then I am!)

 

good luck getting all those installed in one day by yourself!!!! thats at least a 2 day job alone, done right.

 

You can do that in 1 long day. I'd say 30 minute bumper removal for your first time, then the whole a-spec kit install...maybe 2.5 hours? Then the bumper is already off so you can do the intake in 1 hour. The Teins...ehh maybe 4-5 hours if this is your first suspension isntall? All depends also on if you have a helping set of hands.

So you might be done in like 9 hours without stopping.

 

Yeah X2...

Hopefully tomorrow is just the day that kicks of your WEEKEND project. I'm setting aside Sunday for my A-Spec Kit install day, if you guys don't hear from me send out the dogs!!!

Good luck OP... keep us posted!

 

Like I said, doing it by yourself and not rushing it will take more than a day....and youre going to be sore!

 

True. Tomorrow is my a-spec install day too!

 

Good luck with all the install...let us know if you find or learn something while installing these (ie. easier way to get the job done, etc). And oh, post up pics when finished

 

LoL, it's all good guys! I got my bro helpin who is a mechanic, and a friend who is also! My other friend said he'd help me out too, and he's a semi-skilled tech! And I have already taken off the bumper for my headlight clearing, so I know the routine! So I shouldn't have a problem knockin out this whole project within a day with all that help! I got the spring compressor and all the tools! So don't worry bout me! As long as there's no serious complications, I should be rollin tomorrow night, low and slow! Well... I dunno about the slow part!

 

Of course I'll have some pics! Don't worry!

 

good luck on your install

 

KOOL, great upgrades.

I just got my UR pulley today, and Acura emailed my 08 TL-S rear lip is in, 1 day, $277.

 

Echo, you're going to have a busy day. Good luck with your mods man!

Thanks guys, I'll let ya know how it all goes!

 

Nice man! I need to remove my A-spec sides and have them repainted damn paint mismatches I think with ASM you don't have to worry about that really though. Good luck with the install!

 

Yeah, hopefully! Good luck with the repaint!

 

Did u wake up already???

hurry up install time!!! lol

 

+1....it can be done. If everything goes smoothly with your suspension, it shouldn't take more than an hour per corner.

 

waiting for pics!

 

 

post some pics already

 

Ecko how did u do your rear lights?

 

Hey guys, everything's on! Body kit's on, cai's on, and coils are on! So, I was working on my cai while my bro and friend were startin on the front coils. I finished the cai, and in the interest of time, instead of starting the rears, I moved onto the ASPEC kit. Once I got the front on, I walked over to see the progress of the coils... As I looked at the top of the front struts, I noticed something was missing! There were no adjustments for the dampening! So at this point the rears were being bolted in... I ran over, grabbed the manual, and guess what! It read... BASIC coilovers...! The box didn't even say basic or SS. I was pissed! But at that point, I couldn't do anything! So, needless to say, I'm going to see if, the shop will either let me swap them for the SS' (which I doubt), or at the very least, get the difference in money back! The car looks sexy as hell! But the basics are not what I wanted, or paid for! So, if I can't swap them for SS', I will soon have a set of basics on the BM very soon. And whatever process is taken to get the SS', I will be installing the EDFC next time as well! The car's dirty since I didn't wanna wash it yet since it's supposed to rain for the next few days. So when it's clean, I'll post some pics right away!

 

My rear lights are just the TL-S lights. They just look tinted cause the black and white photo shop! But, stay tuned, cause I will be doin 'em custom soon!

 

Wowwwww didnt notice that it was in B&W hahaha

 

damn bro get the 200 dollar difference in money back and thats kind of ghetto the box didnt say Super street or basics on it ?

 

LoL, it's all good!

 

Yup, that's my thoughts exactly! I see ur sig says u ordered TEINs... Check the damn things before u install! LoL

 

Sorry for the delay... I took the pics the other day after gettin a wash! Just need to post them! I'm gonna have my girl bring my camera back to my house so I can post some pics tonight!

 

WTF they gave you basics

They should exchange for SS if you paid for the SS, and the EDFC is sweet man you should get it hehe

 

Finally go some pics... Here ya go... Just waitin on rims!

 

Looks real good. What rims?

 

Looks great!!!!

So fresh and so clean..

 

EcKo it looks great man. Too bad you can't remove that front plate though

LOL? You are kidding right? Those are the stock Type S rims....

 

Hahaha come on Sean.

He means which ones he's getting hahaha

 

Haha shit I didn't read that in the post....I was gonna say!

 

LoL, I'm leanin towards EXE Konvex in 19s... But I'm also considering finding something black with a chrome lip.

 

EckoHed...your Type S looks great. How do you like all your mods?

Hey, please be sure to join our Silver TL Social Group at https://acurazine.com/forums/groups/asm-ssm-tls-59/

 

I love all the looks! And I love the AEM cai! The ride is more firm then I wanted, because of the mixup with the coils... I'm now debating to get the SS' with the EDFC or just a spring and shock combo, and sell the basics. Any input from anyone on how much smoother the SS' can be over the basics? Cause I want as close as possible to stock ride and feel...

 

Yeah, trust me... I know! I thought about pullin it and just stickin it on the dash... Or even lookin into getting the hide away front plate...
