Full A-Spec CBP TL-S

After the tragedy of getting my stock TL-S wheels stolen, My TL is back up on its feet looking nice. After insurance settled I got new set of Ebony A-Spec wheels wrapped in Yokohamas and A-Spec sides courtesy of Findlay Acura. I also got the M/T A-Spec suspension courtesy of Curry Acura for my Auto which gave me a little over an inch drop. BTW big shout out Dennis from i-modify.com for installing my A-Spec suspension, his quality of work is outstanding, if you are in the NOVA area be sure to hit him up. So I leave you now with my CBP TL-S.

Looks good! CBP was my original choice for a type S, but my local dealer only had KBP. It still turns my head when I see a CBP.

LOL and KBP was my original choice but my girl wanted NBP and I said hell no, and I wanted KBP so we ended up agreeing on the CBP, it was the one color we both liked.

Hey the-carbon-comet, your S is looking pretty damn nice yo. Perfect drop with the m/t a-spec suspension. How's the ride compared to getting a a/t a-spec suspension. Is there even a difference? Anyways, car looks good to go!

PEACE!

So far the ride seems the same, turning and braking seems like it has improved.

Looks great. Glad everything worked out after the wheel theft.

You missed the best pic of the a-spec kit though......the rear! Maybe one day I'll get some time to install the kit that's been sitting in my basement for months and hopefully my car will look as good as yours.

Thanks guys!!! I was actually having second thoughts about the A-spec wheels without the drop, but once the suspension was installed the difference was visible immediately and the car looked 10 times better.

So far i'm quite pleased with the M/T A-spec suspension, it has settled to about 1 1/4" drop. I thought I wasn't going to even get an inch out of it.
