Looks good! Did you get those off ebay? I'm still torn between these or aftermarkets, but have not found any aftermarkets that look as good to me. It'd be nice if these came in 19s.

my opinion the Aspec- Rims compliment the TL the best...for long term...factory look. I'm gonna do the Aspec- Suspension....next...as soon as I get rid of my stock rims....
I still have to install my Injen intake. After all that I'm done.....no more ....."add-ons"
Oh and I've already got the Comptech RSB in.....it's been on for a while....

Talking How Worst can A-spec Suspension make my cushiony Ride?

thanks guys.....for the compliments.
Trancemission don't worry about the picture i messed up on...it's ok.
Stock Suspension is on right now. I only have the comptech sway bar. I'M REALLY DEBATING ABOUT THE A-SPEC SUSPENSION. Should I ...shouldn't I .....should I.....shouldn't I. I drove it this past weekend. The 18 inch rims def. feel heavier on the suspension. The ride is a little rougher. That is why I am SOOOO UNDECIDED on the A-spec Suspension.

HOW WORST CAN MY CUSHIONY RIDE GET W/ THE A-SPEC SUSPENSION? and and...I don't want that "Ricey" Import Rice Rocket feeling and I think I might feel that way if I get the A-Spec Suspension. Tell me guys am I "OVER-REACTING". Or is it REALLY WORTH GETTING and NOT MUCH SACRIFICE? I know this topic is played out....but let's talk about this some more...w/ alot of FEEDBACK PLEASE...Thanks, Tai

LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY.....If i was to LOWER my TL it would ONLY BE WITH THE A-Spec Suspension. Simply because it LOWERS THE car the LEAST. So tell me.....is worth it? I"m the type of person that would like to keep my car for a LOONG TIME and to keep the Factory look...w/ some goodies here and there....underneath the hood....

My next install is my Injen intake.....and then I'm completely DONE!!!! OH OH....and maybe the A-spec Suspension depending on the responses I get from the Acura Gurus ( you guys).

By all means, get the A-Spec suspension. It doesn't lower the car more than a fraction of an inch, and it's supple, yet firm, and makes the car handle significantly better under all circumstances. I particularly like how it eliminates that annoying front end dive when braking. You won't regret it.

Wow, that looks pretty low, relatively speaking, for a stock ride height.
I'd be happy with it.

Why are you getting an alignment if you didn't adjust the suspension?
If anything, you'd get it AFTER the A-Spec suspension was installed.

Looks nice! Im partial to Anthracite though:P but the tires look sticky in the pic alone. Looks like you could have to good times on the road with them. I know I'm due for a tire change but not sure if i wanna just wait a little longer and get new rims too. My stock have some rub here and there...
