I ordered my neuspeed Supercup Kit with the sport springs today from Excelerate $599 shipped. I'm hopping I can get 2.0F and 1.8R in the lowest perch, what do you guys think.

Price is defintely a great bargain bro. Hit up excelerate as he has this kit! I wish i wouldve bought this before I bought the a-spec suspension. Now that i think about it, i coulda had tein SS w/ EDFC for as much money i dropped on the suspension alone rt now...lol. Oh well, you live and you learn.

Will! The drop looks great! I haven't seen the 19s on your car yet. What's up?

You should take off the ASpec badge.........and send it my way! I slapped on my ASpec suspension Friday morning.

Now that you've driven it more, do you think the suspension fully settled yet? After the install, you said that your gap was 1/2 inch all around... did it get any lower?

Also, have you started adjusting the dampening yet? If so, what setting?

i have put a lil over 1k in mileage since completeing the suspension and rear camber install and i dont think it has settled anymore. so the stance is about the same as the pics depict. if you wanna go a tad lower, go with the second perch all the way around. or if you want a slight tuck go for the last perch! il wait to see how the 19s look on it b4 i decide to go lower but for now im still content.

dampening wise, i have the front set @ 1 full turn from soft and the rear set @ 3/4 turns from soft. hope that helps and ood luck with the install bro.

I purchased just the ASpec suspension from Prestige Acura with their 10% over cost deal - I think the badge would have cost extra. I like it so far. It feels a little better than the stock suspension, but it's most likely just a psychological feeling at this point.

I'm always nervous whenever I do work on my own vehicles (I installed the suspension), but I've done alright for the past ten years when I'm "DYI-ing".

Nice, so with the rear camber kit, how did the alignment go? What are your specs?

with the rear camber in, initially the toe was waaayyy in da rear and the handling was shitty as f*ck! but i got he lifetime alignment so i went to get the car put back into spec from one firestone nearest my crib and they didnt provide me with a printout but said i was all good. i noticed they didnt have the "laser Hunter" (correct name??) alignment machine so i was skeptical since it took them bout 30 min to complete. my judgements were right as the car STILL drove like shit (rear end was very unstable...still). however i took my whip to another firestone with the "laser hunter" alignment machine and everything was all good. only thing out of spec was my front rt camber (didnt get the front camber kit as i didnt think i needed it) i think it was out of spec because of a pothole i hit during the winter. anyway enough of my

3rd perch all around....i have a camber kit in the rear. even when i had the aspec suspension, i needed a camber kit. some people say a good alignment (set the "toe" to 0) is all you need but i opted for maximum tire wear. my rear camber is dialed in within spec and the fron is a bit out but not by much. regular rotation of tires will also help maximize tire wear

hope that made sense or helped any

^^^^Yes, you have to remove the rear seats, rear pillar covers and rear deck(not necessary but makes install imo) you do NOT have to remove the trunk liner at all. You don't have to do anything inside the trunk actually.

Just FYI for peeps, if you come to us with cash we can usually discount enough to make it worth it for you. We save merchant fees and processing so we can pass it on to cash customers.

Wow. This is an old thread lol. DJ Bonso, have you played with your dampening a lot? I had it on all firm with my Ground Controls on and now I'm about to soften it up when I put accord S. Tech's on. Ground Controls are too rough imo.

Hopefully you don't mind me posting pictures of the aftermath in this thread since it seems like everyone is using this thread as a reference.

yea defintely an old thread i finnaly got my dampening just right at 1.25 turn from soft up front and 1.75 turns from soft in the rear.

i thought you were parting out your whole car? i actually thought about gettin ground controls in case i wanted to go lower but i think im good now. since i created this thread i have lower the front to the 2nd perch and the rear to the bottom perch. now she sits pretty even front to back



post up ur s tech pics tho....wat perch u gonna do?

Damn that's one nice stance. I'm on all lowest perches right now, but I might change it to 2nd perch front and lowest perch rear like you did because it seems like the front is lower than the rear on stock springs

Yea, regarding that part-out thing, it was just mainly to freak people out. I didn't want to fool with performance anymore since everyone in town is boosting and I started to hate my ground controls because they rode rough. My dad did complained though which got me motivated to part it out. Just gave me more money for a nice set of rims coming soon

Anyways, back on topic.
