Today I had the MT ASPEC Suspension and Progress 24mm Rear Sway Bar installed on my AT 2008 TL Type S. My wife called my cell phone several times begging me to come home and have dinner with the family!
I am shocked at how much better it handles! Last week I replaced my OEM tires with the Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position tires. The entire combination is sick, just sick! I left several dollars of rubber on the on ramps to the interstate tonight. My goodness, everyone needs this suspension upgrade. Thanks for letting me share my fun!

For those that disagree with me -

 

Glad to hear you're enjoying the mods =)

I love the A-Spec suspension too.
Now I just need the RSB lol

 

i feel ya on the aspec...its a great upgrade for the TL without making it looked modded. i loved it after i installed just the suspension. added the RSB (hint hint GP16), and WOW!! crazy fun. if i had summer stickies...then it would get dangerous. lol.

 

I also have aspec suspension and progress rsb. It handles much better then when I first bought my car. Recently bought pilot super sports for my aspec wheels and the grip is amazing. I take some ramps, and turns at speeds that I could never do before. Ive been dying for a track day but I don't know if I can afford going through a $1200 set of tires that fast.

 

^my super summer tires were only 600 for all 4 = NT05's

and yes....aspec+nt05s+RSB= funnnnnnn!

 

Question, would you be looking to sell the Type S Suspension? Because I have an 04 and from what I gathered it should fit and I'm due for shocks and springs.

 

^yes it will fit.

and talk through PM if you're talking sales.

 

My family are huge fans of Michelins so we run them on all of our cars. Plus our tire supplier doesn't carry Nittos.

 

PSS's are better but for $600/set i dont care...howd you get that deal??

 

Let me know how the tire life on NT05s are.

I heard they're better suited for the track whereas Invos are better for daily (tread life wise).

FML I defnitely know I'll have to spend more money than $600 sicne mine are 18" wheels.

 

nvm didnt realize they were that cheap... I wander how they stack up against the hankook ventus RS3s

 

Well another reason I went splurged for the PSS's is their 30k mile warranty. If I don't make it, they prorate the next set for me. Im sure they void that if I ran them on the track.

 

Awesome Glad to hear your happy

When I put TEIN SS coilovers and the progressive 24mm RSB on my 2006 MT 6-speed TL I was also in SHOCK It handled AWESOME and rode great

I can't wait to buy a 2008 auto Type-S

Merry Christmas And Congrats

 

nice! my very 1st suspension was this and YES it does kick ass! i just HATED the drop/look it gave.....defintely a winner for performance tho

 

Sure, I have it and wouldnt mind selling it.

 

Suspension and a RSB make for exciting driving. I love mine too, except I did H&R Sports Springs, but with the same results.

 

How is the install for the Progress RSB? Is there any drilling necessary?

Does anyone have a link to a DIY.

 

no drilling. plug n play.

search the 3G garage for the DIY.

 

This was my first suspension combo and it was indeed great. I too have added Bridgestone tires which i ffind to be pretty stiff which is also great for aggressive cornering. I would love to get the Michelin's lilsid got but its so hard to cough up the $1200 when I put 300 miles plus on my car every week.

 

Dude, I dont daily.
I do beat on my car tho!

my car turned 50k on Dec. 3. I only put 10k on in a year.
with that being said, when i look at the tires, they look freaking bald!!!!!!! lol

butt, i still have major grip.
i forgot to record my mileage when I put the tires on, but i do have the date of install. I can do a little home work and put together a little time line of the tires.

 

oh, and tire pressure is super important with these tires.
Houston is kinda weird and we're having 80 degree December days, then the next it will drop down to the upper 40's.

I noticed I have to be pro-active and keep up with the air pressure.

 

there is no such thing as a super summer tire. only a ultra high performance tire or high performance.. the only super thing here is my super pilot sports. you dont even have a fully assembled aspec spring/shock set, u have juss the springs with type s top hats.. lol lol lol weaker than a real aspec.. juss saying. op, i like my set up alot, im never scared cornering in high speeds

 

^cool story bro.

before you bash, ask yourself was it a maxima or an altima?

lol chill, Dav.

 

justnspace, u think ur rv6 fart pipes can see mine? lol jk. ur car, juss kno that even tho my S had rock hard top hat bushings,i didnt use them on my suspension, the aspec top hats are wayyy better . u messed up when i told u to not put S bushings on aspec's springs/shocks. mine with aspec everything

 

cool story bro. ^

LOL at this guy whose arguing over tophats.

 

u say its fun on your car, maybe but i had S top hats on my aspec suspen. it decrease the handling soo much i was mad at myself for making the change. hahaha rv6 fart pipes, ur pride and joy. lol i kno

 

^you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.
it clearly shows.

the tops hats wont decrease handling, you noob.
I added type-s bushings to the stock '06 tophats, you boob.
it does nothing to handling, you have moobs.


you lost all credibility, when you made that thread. How are you going to give advice about cars, if you dont even know what kind of car you were supposedly trying to race.


instead of bashing me, you should hit the books and research.
you need lots of help.

 

I have EXACTLY the same setup including tires on my '08 TL 5AT base ... Transformative! CongraTs on the change!

 

The Progress 24mm RSB and TEIN SS are just amazing !!!

AND EXTREME SUMMER TIRES

 

it makes the suspenson feel sloppy. still tired from drilling? anyone watch justnspace video?? 600 hp tl. FWD lol lol lol i tired this setup and it feels sloppy and i couldnt takecorners at 100mph like i use to. lol dyno a base tl with no cats. lol people dyno turbos and chargers this guy dyno fart pipes.. 600 horses......

let me investigate. justnspace have this setup if i can remember. a 06 tl shock mount, 07 tls shock mount bushing, (desperatley drilled). Aspec Springs, Koni shocks. a Aftermarket RSB, and Nitto's NTO5 (Super Summer Tires in his words".
badselection of the combonation you have there if you think your car can handle better than mine.
why dont you do this..my recommendations are...

acura's ASPEC SPORT SUSPENSION. it is tracked tuned and fully assembled. Michenlin Pilot Super Sport Tires. (it is Y rated not W like nitto's), it has higher load index, nitto's are 91load index. Car requires atleast 93.

<--im just helping you not competing against you. dont be mad

 

I need suspension.

 

Dav, stop trolling. mmmkay?

 

i have koni yellows.
I'm glad you like the sound of my voice, dav.
if you want I can call you later.

Dav, I have the same exact setup as you...minus the shocks. which are valved more aggressively than your aspec shocks.


you can call me if you would like big boy, we can get it on!!!




I find it highlarious that you started a thread about the aspec suspension. I recall that you were crying because you didnt feel any difference....well, big boy....at the time, you didnt even install the rears. you're a joke.


LOL seriously? you expect a ride difference with only the fronts installed?

 

dav, justn-can't you two guys have a conversation without calling each other names?

Really....how old are you guys anyway?????

 

I love my neuspeed sports spring with koni yellows with RSB. So fun to drive.

 

How the hell are you 28 and married?

 

Nearly 2 months later and everyday is a trip! My car handles like its on rails and I have pushed it fairly hard! I hit exit ramps at speeds I never imagined possible, and it sticks. Find the $$ and get yourself the Progress RSB, that probably has made the biggest impact keeping the rubber down on all 4 with those tight turns. Then save a bit more and put the ASPEC Suspension on it to finish it off, you will not be disappointed, guaranteed! That's it, no more from me, later. . .

 

lol

 

How did I miss this thread when it was fresh. Dave, you don't live far from me, anytime you want to back up your suspension or tire claims, Willow Springs is close to both of us.
