aspec kit question(s)
i am planning on getting the aspec...........this one to be exact .......the whole package comes with.......
4 High performance, track-tuned shocks and springs,Pre pressed from Acura.......
4 of the 18" A-Spec TL wheels with center caps
my question is will the suspension drop the car at all?
what kind of the tire size should i put on the wheels? I was looking at 235/40-18 tires? will they rub if the suspension has a drop?
Any answers/pix will be greatly appreciated.

Full of water...
235/40-18 is the stock tire size for those rims so you will be fine. but some people go with a 245/40-18 to add a little extra protection to the rims in case you rub a curb.

personal opinion but since you're going with the drop...i'd recommend getting 245/35/18s. i hate a thick sidewall! haven't had any problems here thus far. as for the aspec suspension they should drop your car about half an inch...it's not much; definitely not 1.5 inches.

[QUOTE=blkaspec]a few pics...oh, and yes it will drop, but not as much as other aftermarket systems.
Your TL is sharp - what year is it? I just picked up an 06 TL last night, black, and wanted to change out the rims - yours are very sharp, where are they from?

aspec kit? well, I don't really wanna lower my car or get new shocks or anything, i just want to make the aesthetics a little more exciting. Are those rims called "aspec rims"? Is there anything else on that car to make it "aspec" cosmetically?
thanks!
