Parts guy I spoke with said that visually he could tell no difference, but that there might be a difference due to the extra weight for the automatic transmission. Acura also has two different part numbers for it.

You are talking about the full A Spec kit. There are two different A Spec SUSPENSIONS for the TL.

Makes sense - I guess I was simply misinformed.

Parts guy at Falconi Acura said that he compared both side by side and could visually and physically see no difference. Though, he did say the spring rate will probably be lower on the front dampners of MT because of the lighter transmission.
I just purchased a MT suspension package for my AT TL. I'm hoping it will cure the common problem of the front of the car being higher than the back on most TLs with the suspension installed. Hopefully the extra weight of the car combined with the MT suspension, will lower the front more and even out the look. We'll see how it goes... Any thoughts on the matter?

Uhh, you may want to call Falconi now and swap them because the front pieces will NOT fit the 5AT according to everyone here who has made the purchase. If I remember correctly, the mounting points are different for the fronts between the 5AT and 6MT. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
