A-spec suspension

Been looking for an A-spec suspension kit for about a month now and I can't find a good deal. I'll buy even if it's used so long it doesn't have more than 5K mi on it.

What's out there comparable to the A-spec with regards to stiffness and lowering? I don't want it to be too low or too stiff. Also I'm looking for easy installation.

The reason I'm looking for this oem a-spec suspension is because I was able to buy a used a-spec rims and tires. It'll look and feel much better if I can match it up with the oem suspension. Any advise?

best deal for brand new is 700-750 shipped for the suspension. You can catch these on ebay back acura of las vegas. Also you could try to get new rims and suspension kit together. Also check out the black market section, and post a Want TO buy Thread.

Thanks. I did post a WTB in Black Market before I posted this thread.

I couldn't pass up the used A-spec rims/tires that I saw on craigslist that's why I bought it. Got it for 500 bucks. I'll just have to get the suspension from Ebay if I chance upon it.

Kyle I think the difference between the type-s suspension and the a-spec version is that the a-spec lowers the car by one inch and that's what I'm really looking for. I'd like it to match the set of a-spec wheels that I bought. Thanks for the offer. PM me anyway what price you're selling it for. I'll ask my friend who has an 05 TL maybe he'll buy it.

Earlier this summer, everytime I looked on ebay, there was a suspension only kit for sale brand new $650. Once I started considering it, they disappeared.

Same thing happened just before I bought the car. Saw them all the time before, once I was looking, none to be found.

Must be someone doesn't want me to get the factory suspension.

If I were to go aftermarket, I would head straight to Mr HeelToe and get the pre-assembled version.

I'm taking the winter off to replenish the funds, but new suspension, wheels and tires will be the next on my list next spring/summer.
