hey guys I need a pic of a tl on aspec suspension and a tl on tein ss. debating on which i should get. Im leaning towards aspec but everyone seems to lean towards tein ss. I would like to see a pic of the two, then maybe I can decide on which to get. Thank you guys

 

Id say it depends on where u live, the road conditions and the type of drop u want. the aspec is made to be driven a majority of the time and can handle shitty roads once and a while. the tein ss can as well but its a bit more sportier. i personally wouldnt be driving the car all the time if i had teins on. I had tein springs then went to tein ss and now im on aspec because of the traveling i do i dont want things breaking or wearing prematurely because of suspension reasons.

 

ASPEC

 

I'm considering the A Spec springs on my '08 TL-S as well as I don't want to sacrifice much comfort...just want to tighten the wheel gap a bit for 18s like yours. Our roads are crap up here as well and I gotta think about snow. How does the A Spec compare to stock and since it's a relatively mild drop can I change just the springs?

Thanks in advance...

 

yes but u cant just get aspec springs.....closest thing to them is the comptech or eibach.....the tein springs are bad with comfort but insane with control.

 

Really? I had checked with my Dealer Parts guy and they will sell the A Spec springs seperately...at least that's what he said, maybe he's mistaken...

 

i have the aspec on mine, and i have driven a stock tl, and there is a night and day difference between the two. a nice looking drop with MUCH improved handling without sacrificing the ride quality.

 

the aspecs are the way to goo for a mild nice drop with very GOOD handling and the ride quality is not to bad! definetly recommend aspec suspension

 

Thanks guys...I have a line on a kit that I'm trying to get.

 

does anyone know the difference between 04-06 and 07-08's aspec?

or is it the same ?

 

I had Aspecs and now I am on Tein SS. Aspec rides nice but I hate the drop, for me it was uneven and sat higher in the front. That and it wasn't low enough. The ride was great though. Personally though I think the Tein SS rides just as nice at the same height as the Aspec but with Teins you have the option to go lower if you want. Obviously the lower you go, the more ride quality you sacrifice.

 

the different year and auto/manual tranny a-spec shock kits are based on the weights of the tl. the type-s' are heavier. the manuals are lighter. etc.

the a-spec rides awesome for a daily driver but the drop isn't that good. depends on whether you want a big drop or not. the teins can get choppy and harsh over bad roads and highways but if u have baller wheels u need a baller drop.

 

M/T A-Spec on Auto 2007 TL-S

 

^^^ that looks good. My aspec drop was nowhere near that nice but I had the auto aspec on an auto.

 

A spec on 19s.

 

i recently install my a-spec, it give you a good amount of drop to get your 4x4 looks away, it barly drop up to 0.5 - 1 inchs, my springs aren't settle yet but is going to drop little more once it settle =p

 

wow sexy.. that's why im debating if i should keep it or get coils.!

btw, when i got mine, the AT 07-08 cost a bit more than the 04-06, i asked the guy at the desk and he told me the drop is more balanced and stiffer.. i asked if they have anything backing that up..they just said that's what they were told. i call bs to that tho..

 

Actually, you can get just the aspec springs from me (I'm going to post them in the BM soon... PM me if you're interested... they're the 6MT springs which are lower in the front because of the lighter tranny) because I just got the neuspeed supercup kit. I would be selling the shocks too, but I just have the front shocks... the rears already started leaking oil.

 

^^^the TL will only sit slightly lower IF the car is a 5AT with the 6MT springs.

I'm planning to get the ASPECS on my 6-SPD , after the install, (new ASPEC suspension kit) Do i need to let them settle in for about 2 months, and THEN get an alignment? Or do i do it right away?

 

^^^i would say it depends on how much you drive...personally i waited until i drove about 500 miles before i got the alignment

 

i agree man, when i got the aspec ss on the rsx, i only waited 7 days and did the alignment.. and man, my alignment was off by a bit within the 2months..


unless you drive hard and long on the car, wait for 2 weeks i guess.. especially when it's brand new

 

Thanks for the tip guys. Will wait about a month for the springs to settle in, and then I will get an alignment.

 

Everytime I see your car I think of the potential mine has, man that looks great!!!

 

Hey bro - how long did it take to settle like that?

 

I know most springs take some time to settle but the A-Specs on my car have changed very little since I purchased the car. I had the entire A-Spec kit installed before I picked the car up from the dealer.

 

If you have mt a specs on an auto a spec car then it will settle as low as that black car. If you have mt aspecs on an mt aspec then the front will sit a little higher.

 

Man I can't wait to get my set up like yours. I got the M/T A-spec in the garage right now. I should be getting it installed this week.

wow that's sexy!!
im sold!

 

Auto A-Spec Suspension on '06 5AT

 

Since the Type S is heavier would the MT Aspec suspension hold up with daily driving on NY roads?

That drop is really nice. What year aspec suspension is that?

 

Got my M/T on Auto A-spec installed today and I am quite the happy camper with the drop, it gave me a little over an inch, I was sitting at 27" in the front and now I am a little under 26". I snapped a few pics for today, i'll get better ones tomorrow.

2007 A-Spec for 2007 TL-S

 

mine is on the way...waiting for UPS--i got the M/T A-Spec for my 06.

 

How much did you all pay for the A Spec shipped? I'm looking at 585 shipped right now but wondering if anyone else could get it cheaper

 

^^that's cheaper than what I can find. All I can find is $630 for the whole kit. Where did you see that? Do you mind sharing the link? Thanks.
