Hi all,
I just bought a 2006 6 spd and I am having a hard time making a decision on the A-spec package. (I have spent hours on the forum and was hoping to get some direct responses)

A few questions for you all:

1. Does anyone have a picture of the individual pieces included in the A-spec body kit. Other than the spoiler, I can barely notice the difference b/w a standard car and an A-spec car.

2. A-spec suspension: The brochure says 1.2" drop. Many posts list much less of a drop. How much does this affect the ride? Does anyone have an A-spec in S. Florida that would be kind enough to offer me a ride?

3. A spec wheels & tires - They aren't real impressive to me, but since I have the 06 with TPMS is there any other option? How much do rims and tires affect the ride?

I'm really torn on the decision. I want to make it soon so I can get the best $$ for the parts that are removed. I like the look of a dropped car with bigger rims, but I really just drive the car back and forth to work. I don't want to be bouncing around and poppin Advil every time I hit a pothole. I just want the car to look a little different than others. If the ride is improved - great.

Please help!

Thanks

 

1. big difference in the front and back....the sides aren't really that noticeable..but if you installed them (in which I did) than you would be able to tell the difference, again this is for the sides.

2. I dont have the suspension but the lowest drop I've heard of is .75 (not even a inch)

3. The bigger you go the less cushion there is...but it also has alot to do with the tires as well.

 

Go check the photo forum and if you do not notice the cosmetic difference between the ASPEC and the regular TL you need to go see if you're legally blind.

 

Where do u live in fl? I have the aspec, installed it myself and LOVE IT....you can see the list of mods I have below....I am thinking the UR pulley is next. BTW my wife drives our TL a lot, after the install she calls me after she is getting on i -95 and says who I love the suspension and the CTSB...I just laughed, believe me you will like the aspec suspension, buy it off ebay, and install it yourself.
