to aspec or not to aspec?

i'm probably getting a tl in december. been researching it for months. only the is350 has a possibility to stop me.

anyways, is it better to buy a stock tl and add on ur comptech and tein upgrades, or are some of the aspec parts actually supperior to aftermarket ones (suspension brakes...)

No A-Spec so your car doesn't look like the mine and the other 9215762634572469324856 TLs on the road.

that makes no sense. if u have the aspec it will look different...i haven't seen a single aspec kid in my city honestly.

and i plan on ordering the rj kit about a week before i get my car so i can throw it on, i'm just talking about the performance and suspension saspects.

I got the aspec package and I love it. I get alot of compliments on it. The car rides great. I love the way it feels. Plus its covered by warranty. Remember that the suspension was designed by the guy who designed the suspension for the NSX. I think its worth it because the car is well balanced. If u get the tein and don't have it set up by a professional so your car drives better not just looks better than I think thats a waste.

I just had the A Spec & Comptech RSB installed today.
I've only been in the car for about an hour after.
So far pretty cool. I haven't gotten on it yet but I have
noticed that body roll is pretty much eliminated. The car
huggs the road and feels more centered.

I put the MT A Spec on an AT. And for me the 1" drop
is perfect. Even the guys at the shop who did the install
were digging it. Next summer when I go for new shoes
I should have more options by going with the A Spec.

GoodLuck

The A-Spec suspension is superior to most suspensions because its finely tuned OEM for our cars specifically, most other aftermarket parts are tuned for general cars and they are just made to fit the actual car, not taking into consideration what kind of car it is. if you have the money A-Spec Suspension should be a MUST
