Thumbs up Just Got A-SPEC'd

Had the A-SPEC (manual trans version), and a CT RSB installed on my 04 SSM AT TL. In short: WHAT A DIFFERENCE !!!

The car has much more 'road feel' but does not ride harsh. It tracks and corners way better. Handling is more 'solid' or 'tight'. Overall the car just feels 'tighter'. I agree with the post about it being the best money ever spent. This mod is well worth the price.

CompTech Rear Sway Bar

Word has it that the front springs are a tad less stiff to account of the lighter weight of the 6MT. I guess it makes the 6MT handle identical to the 5AT when both are A-Spec'd. Someone here order the 6MT ones for their 5AT so that the wheel to fender gap in the front would be smaller after the suspension upgrade...assuming the 6MT A-Spec coilovers are a bit softer.

I believe this is Scott (@ Falconi Acura) explained this to me. This is also what I did. As I stated the car is 'TIGHT', not an overly punishing ride, but personally I would not want too much more firmness. If you are going over a bridge, you can now 'feel' the section joins and rough pavement is more noticeable. On the plus side, this thing 'corners like it on rails' and you 'feel' more 'in control'. I will probably wait till the suspension breaks in, before looking at 18"s or 19"s.

Again, my

Thanks
