First off your car looks great. I take it you installed the kit yourself? If so what was involved? (time, specialty tools, level of mechanical skill, etc...) And, A-spec suspension raises the rear of the car and lowers the front? Please explain this to me
Can you tell us your ride height all the way around after the install. Thanks

Thanks again everyone for the feedback.
kbptypes and as2222,
The measurments from the dead center of the of the bumber to the top of the A Spec kit is 5 1/2" and from the taillights to the top of the kit is 10 1/2".....hope this helps.
SOCalTLtypeS,
Thanks for the compliments. Yes, I installed the kit with a friend of mine this last weekend. There are no specialty tools needed, just a little bit of confidence in knowing that drilling several 3/8" holes in your bumber is an OK thing to do. We took our time and the body kit took about 3-4 hours, just because we didnt want to miss anything. The suspension litterally took about 2 hours total to do, the stock stuff comes off and the new suspension went right back in.
The car sits overall about 3/4" lower than stock. It definately lowers both the front and the back of the car. I have a stereo in the trunk, which maybe added about 1/8" more lowering in the rear. I have an automatic and used the 6Speed A Spec suspension because I wanted the front to be able to sit a little lower. As far as the measurements, it is 26" from the floor to the bottom of the wheel well in the front and 26 1/4" in the rear of the car.
kosstick,
The kit is for the TLS.

quick question on your rims. does your center caps come unassembled? Meaning is the chrome part not yet attached to the back center cap plate? Since the chrome piece needs to be secured to the plate with two screws, does it have 3m tape on the back to accompany the screws?

dr_brains510,
I am not sure what the weight is on the wheels....sorry.
cali2882,
Yes, the center caps come unassembled and there is some tape on the back of the Acura symbol to assist the screws to hold it on there.
