Where'd you order them from?

A-Spec usually comes as a coil-over/complete Shock/Spring kit.

 

i bought it from this guy.. i have checked my oem 05 shock part number it dont even say the SEP-AO4.
but i got it from here. https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/sold-tein-springs-spec-struts-695710/

 

Did you get jacked? Stock shocks with aftermarket springs??

A-Spec P/N link

edit: I think the rears are stock shocks.. can anyone verify this?

 

i hope nott i hope i didnt get jacked can someone verify that i didnt get jack. or i did GET JACKED!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELPPPPPPPPP i already payed for it and its on the way to me

 

I didn't want to worry you.. I don't know the specs on A-SPEC's.. it may be that the A-Spec rear assembly uses stockies, that I'm not sure. Don't worry about it, just PM someone who has A-Specs or a mod and ask specifically.

 

Agree. You need someone with the A-Spec from the same yeasr/model to go look at the individal part numbers. The A-Spec part numbers show up as a "kit" or "assembly" not single peices (shock, spring, top hat parts, etc).

 

Thanks GUys A+ to all Azine members

 

acura dealer said Base model TL

 

Does any one think that i got Jiped for my money

 

I just went to that thread you posted. I think there's a consensus that the A-SPEC shocks are the same. I wouldn't worry, but you should PM a moderator and get a definite answer. I wouldn't trust some service writer's knowing the specifics of the A-SPEC assembly shock from a base shock.

PM CHiNaMaN440.. He seems to know exactly.

 

Send a PM to check the part numbers as they have the ASpec off the car:

acura said it was base model 04 06

 

Thats the base shock, i checked my suspension, i have an 04 base and the sticker on it says the same part number.

 

hi a-spec part # 08W60-SEP-200 http://acuraofboston.com/Parts.cl/

 

Yes, but what is the individual shock part number under that assembly?

 

MAN guys i think i paid a lil to much for that set up. im not mad. if it is not aspec shocks i wouldent mind if seller just return maybe 100 bucks it was 395 total thats why

 

he said that he bought them from acura. he sound like a very good guy. he treated me right on the sell shiped it out right away and was on the phone while shipping!! i should get it febuary 17.

 

there was a thread on here. with a guy buying the whole set and he took pictures of both vin number to varify if they was a-spec. i cant find this thread i spent all day at work tryiing to look for that thread...but i couldnt find it

 

I PM'd Chu..

 

anyone else know

 

I can't verify this information either as I don't know. I remember I had some pics of my old aspec suspension on my iphone, let me go check.....

and last section accessories

 

Hey guys, I checked my a-spec suspension and the part numbers for each shock/strut and spring combo follow that of the part numbers posted on acuraoemparts.com.

FRONT,R: 08W60-SEP-2M0A1
FRONT,L: 08W60-SEP-2M0A1
REARS: 08W60-SEP-2M0C1

I looked for a part number on each individual shock and this is what I saw etched into each shock.

FRONT,R 031104
FRONT,L 031106
REAR,L 03111
REAR,R 03110

Not positive these numbers are the strut p/n's but they were the only set of numbers I found on the strut. Hope this helps.

BTW, if anyone is interested my a-spec susp is for sale. I've just been too lazy to create a FS thread.

 

You got it right on the money. Those are the individual shock PNs. I wish i knew about your aspec sale a week ago, just ended up spending $475 on a brand new set.

 

Is there any differences between the AT A-Spec and the MT A-Spec? I have searched the threads and found some that said the MT has part number 08W60-SEP-200A or 08W60-SEP-201A. When I put this number in, I just see the AT version. Tim at HAW said that he just has info on the AT version as well.

 

This may help http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...php?p=10165795

 

Thanks...I had found that one also.

I checked acura automotive parts and 08W60-SEP-200 is for AT 2004-2006 and 08W60-SEP-201A is for AT 2007-2008. Nothing for 08W60-SEP-200A.

 

ahhhhhh i got ripped offf

 

can someone tell that guy to give me some off the money back!!!!!!!!!!! i dont mind keeping them but i mindpaying to muchhhh

 

Wait til you receive them then give us more details. No reason to make any rash thoughts / decisions. There is confusion about the P/N because the A-SPEC assembly has a P/N separate from the component P/N's. If you paid $400 for shipped A-SPEC suspension that have very little use then you have a good deal. Cross your fingers in the mean time. This forum doesn't take lightly of other members being ripped off, so I suggest being patient and keeping cool no matter what, it will benefit you.

 

yea im trying not to worrry now until i get it. i will take pictures and update everything ok guys. sorry if i put someone down or made someone mad

 

Finnaly came in Ok here are the part numbers i looked at mine today while i was getting new tires it just ended in SEP nothing After that so are they 2 diffrent types i will post pics when i take the stock ones out !!!!! with the pictures side by side let me know what yall think i heard the AO4 stands for A-spec i also heard that every A-spec part number is diffrent. that is why mine 05 BAse only have ______SEP_____. and with these have SEP AO4 let me know if im right or wrong. or i been provided with the wrong information

the rear shock part number is 52610 SEP A040-m1

 

oh yea the reason why i bought this set up is because....... i wanted the A-Spec suspension but i didnt like the way it sit and i wanted the a lil tad bit lower. and i didnt want the tein springs because i seen that they sag alot in the back which i hate. when i saw how the seller of this set up car sat, i really really liked it.. i didnt want to get koni with nuespeed springs because i was scared that it was going to be to stiff. i wanted to keep it as stock quality as possible. so i seen these and i liked them.... they didnt sag and plus he said they were a-spec shockss... so hey just what i was looking for.. now to verify if they are A-Spec shocks ....... any clues..

 

put them on and see how they ride??

 

yea man ima do that friday or maybe next week... i wouldnt know how to compare these to aspec shocks anyways i never rode in a car that has a-specs or tiens with basics

 

Those are Stock Base Model Shocks.

The question you have not yet been able to answer is this:

If you buy the '04 - '06 Base TL A-Spec Suspension Kit from Acura, what part number is on the shocks?


IOW - the A-Spec "difference" might only be the springs and a typical buyer would not know that.
