blue04tl

Hello everyone I have a stock 04TL and I anted to know how would the ride quality differ if I went to aspec suspension instead of stock. I actually dont like the stock ride to much I'm not looking for a really stiff ride i'm looking for a nice luxurious ride with great handling similar to the tsx, but if the apec will give me a harder ride than stock I wont switch, and I have nothing to test drive so I need some advice.

its not stiffer just lower and the handling is tightened up.

I have an 06 5AT and I don't think its that much stiffer. Its kinda subtle but doesn't nose dive or body roll like stock.

It's "tighter". I can take corners at a pretty high speed now with confidence.

Very happy with this upgrade!

^Agreed. I don't think it's much stiffer (if at all), either, but the handling improvement is night and day.

go for it, you wont be disappointed

i have driven both and there is no way i would go back to stock.

and i am not sure i would call the tsx ride luxurious, i would say the stock TL is more luxurious, but it does make it handle a lot tighter similar to the tsx. they are both very different machines and have totally different driving characteristics.

Since there is a inch drop does it throw your camber off much or if at all, cause i know when I had my accord it was lowered two inch's and my tires where unevenly worn, which caused a roaring noise when I was driving down the street.

Tripnbeats

cant modify the camber so no.

chill_dog

And it doesn't lower it an inch (Acura lied).

blue04tl

so does it create any tire wear

chill_dog

It hasn't for me on either set of tires I've had on the car (17's and 19's).

Acura3GTL

ehh .....seems the same after break-in to me. but it def lowers it.....in my shop i had my car and a customers car next to each other..... mine was lower.... and an 05 than his an 08... not by much but def noticeable side by side.
