Got some goodies yesterday!

I received my WDP A-Spec underspoiler kit and my A-Spec suspension last night (thanks Tim!). I'm rather excited about getting it installed over the weekend...

I installed my A-Spec front and side under spoilers already, now I'm just waiting on getting the rear (that sounded bad ).

I have to save up for the suspension though.

You're going to love the suspension. Feels like an entirely different car.

Well, because I bought the suspension and the underspoiler kit together, I paid $578 for the suspension (free shipping).

Got the suspension installed over the weekend. Install wasn't bad, though I took my time (I wanted to enjoy doing it and not rush through it). As others have stated, I haven't observed any change in the ride height.

As far as the handling, I only just drove it to work today, so I've had no opportunity to put it through its paces, but it feels smooth and not jarring over bumps (like my OEM RSX/IntegraType-R suspension did). It feels more sporty, and I do have more confidence in turns...I plan to autocross it over Memorial weekend, so we'll see how that goes.

You'll notice a difference in ride height after a few days when it settles in. I'm looking to purchase the progress rear sway bar sometime this spring/summer to go with the aspec suspension!!

Got the suspension installed the weekend before last, and I just finished the A-Spec underspoiler kit:

Here's the before pic:



Here's a pic with just the side spoilers installed:



Here's a pic with the side spoilers and the rear lip installed:



Here's a pic with everything installed:



Thinking of staying spoilerless, but am not 100% sure.

I have a WDP, been looking more and more at the A-Spec kit, and you've just clinched it for me. I have to buy it. Thank you for the pictures!

Any update on the aspec suspension? How is the ride compared to ur stock suspension? Do u have pics of the car pre aspec suspension and after? Did you end up noticing a difference in the ride height?

Looks nice...and im jealous now.. those are my goals. Currently I just have the F-Lip

And hoping you took before after pics of the suspension

Edit: And you will get the lip spoiler later on It completes the rear perfectly. Spoilerless shows the trunk too low.. I don't know, it's like something is missing.
My thoughts
