Full A-spec Tl almost!

Well a few weeks ago i recieved the aspec suspension for my birthday, this almost completes the full aspec kit i am just missing the steering wheel. I installed the suspension last weekend it look me about 4 hours to install all 4 assemblies, perform and alignment and rotate and balance my tires. At first i was a little dissappointed in the height but i gave it a week to settle and it looks much better and also handles 100 times better than stock. I had a chance to detail the car today and snap a few pics here they are...

Before the car was lowered

LOOKS VERY GOOD MAN



I have a WDP with those same wheels, body-kit and now I want to get my car the A-spec suspension. I went on ebay to see what they are priced at and buy it off there, but the dealerships are selling it as a combo package with the wheels. Where did you buy yours and how much do think the installation would cost on avg? I'm not going to attempt this myself.

Well i paid $580 tax included for my suspension with my employee price, i bought it from my local acura dealer. I installed it myself so im not too sure how much it would cost to install it but im sure if you went to a dealer they would probably charge around $500, but thats just a guess.

No i didnt get the badge it doesnt come with the kit, they say it has to be ordered seperately. If i bought it i would probably take it off anyways because i think the car looks cleaner debadged.

I think im gonna end up going with the CF steering wheel not the aspec i think it will flow the interior better since i have all the CF accessory trim pieces! But it may be a while for me to purchase this.

Nice ride. Let your suspension sit for couple of month and it will drop more. That what happen to mine.
