Check the BlackMarket, every now and then there are a few people that put just the suspension up for sale.

A few websites may be able to get you just the suspension alone. Best thing to check is your local Acura dealer, if not hondaacuraworld might be able to help you out.

Check ebay. Every once in a while one of the Acura dealers that has a store on there offers a suspension without the wheels. Especially Acura of Las Vegas.

^^^You're right, but I'm sure it's to offset the fact that they get stuck with the wheels.


I can say my ASPEC suspension will be for sale if I can ever get someone to make me an offer on my wheels...it's all part of the plan

Not to sure that the A-Spec can hold the rear weight of my car...

My custom JL subs, JL amp, cap and the wood holding everything is pretty HEAVY!

What you guys think? You think it will last and hold it up w/o crapping out?

I think my suspension is shot cuz of the system in the back.
Keep in mind I have 40K miles and its a 06.

That set up will kill any suspension over time.

Just FYI: I got mine from the same ebay's seller for $775 shipped last month. You can try to make them an offer (that is what i did), maybe you can get a better deal.

I was @ my Acura dealership a couple weeks ago and asked about the suspension. The parts guy told me it was extremely difficult to get it without the A-Spec wheels.

Quoted me at $800 and told me he'd work with me on the price. On the phone he was speaking to some Honda dude and he had to tell him it was for a customer who's A-Spec suspension was shot, so a replacement.

haha if i were still in NY and not at school i'd drive you around.

I have the full A-spec setup and yea, you'll be very hard pressed to find them... because most ppl will get the a-spec wheels, but rather get different springs.

I'm not sure if my A-spec suspension is adjustable, but I do know that the ride comfort is pretty stiff, which i love. LOL when i bought my TL from Rallye the saleperson, Pat, told me he hurts his back riding around in an A-spec'd TL....for some reason that made me want to buy them even more ....lol

if you've got such a heavy setup in the trunk i dunno if the A-spec suspension is for you. From what i've gathered, A-spec setup is straight up performance, and granted you'd assume since it's performance it'll beable to handle the heavy back, but i meant it more like, the suspension is designed for well, a gutted car more likely, sorta like the old A-spec RD car that we saw floating around for awhile.

LOVe the a-spec suspension, but wouldn't get it if you've got that much stuff in the back.

noise-wise, i dont think there's much noise. You definitely appreciate the a-spec suspension more when you're doing some twistys tho, I got to drive both on the same winding road out in Old Westbury, and god, with the A-spec suspension, you can feel the car is where you want it to be. Without it, driving my friend's car, i could feel it kind of "rolling" swaying left and right
