Installed Aspec kit, H&R springs, Ingalls Camber kit, and detailed my CBP TL-S
Went to work today and Installed Aspec kit, H&R springs, Ingalls Camber kit, shaved key hole mod; then washed, clar bar, and sealed my car using Ultima Car care products. Long day but it was worth it!














Let me know what you all think

The springs settled nicely.

Just one thing, shine the tires!

Damn that looks nice. Where did you get the a-spec kit and how much?

Also, how is the ride with those springs? I want to lower my Type S just a tad but I do not want to jeopordize ride quality at all.

Thanks,
James

Looks great! How's the ride quality now compared to your stock springs? Also, looks like you just did springs with the stock struts right? Are those the H&R sport or race by chance?

Still waiting for a reply.

Would love to hear where you got the a-spec kit and springs and for how much?

Also, how is the ride quality of the H&R's compared to stock TL-S? I want to lower my TL-S just a little but dont want the ride to suffer. I wish someone made a lowering kit that keeps the same ride as stock (seems all the springs stiffen the ride).

I had the H&R Sports for about a month...It wasn't low enough for me, so I sold them & bought the H&R RACE springs instead...I very pleased now.

I got the kit from my work, I work for Bill Gatton Acura in Johnson City, TN. So thats how I have access to a lift and paid just a tad over cost . I ordered the H&R Sport Springs & Ingalls kit from Assaultech. The ride is great so far-not much different from stock, I know they are still settling so i am having my alignment checked every week for the next month or so. I plan on installing koni's in a litlle while.

I appreciate all the comments

The car DEFINETALY settled more in your newer pics. The ride height looks PERFECT!!! Amazingly done infact so nice I would almost just leave the stock wheels on it. The color of the OEM wheels go sooo good with CBP!

Also, can you give me an update on ride quality now that you have had them on for a few days?

Thanks,
James

Thanks, I will have the stockies on for a while unless i find a steal on wheels. I have only put about 30-40 miles on the springs so far and they have already settled that much. my ride to work is about 4-5 miles so i haven't taken a long drive yet but the ride quality is still great. I would recomend it to anyone. I had someone in an Audi TT that drove through our dealership today and walked in and tried to buy my car instead of anything on the lot. I laughed

OP after a couple months with the springs, what's your opinion? Any rubbing? Stiffer or softer than stock?


What your ride height F & R (wheel weel arch to ground)?

The ride is great, just a litle stiffer than stock but the improvement in handling is well worth it. No rubbing even with 4 people in the car!

ride height= front- 25 5/8 in. rear- 25 7/8 in.

Thank's everyone. I will clean it and wax it as soon as it quits snowing every other week here and will post some updated pictures
( I am working on getting a set of nismo 19" rays wheels in gun metal for it as well)
