Anybody use the A-spec MT suspension in an AT??

I believe the only difference is the sway bar. I don't think the springs and/or shocks are any different.

 

I had a parts guy from Sunnyside inform me the springs for the AT are heavier due the the Trans weight itself.

BD,

I believe Msnowdon has the MT A-Spec for his A/T TL.... I think he posted that the MT setup drops all 4 corners evenly, rather than the AT setup in which the rear (?) sits a bit lower.

Perhaps he will see this thread and correct me if I have misspoken.

I'm leaning towards the MT A-Spec for my baby... Just looking for the right $$$.

Good luck!

 

I have that same set up. A-spec MT w/ Comptech RSB in my AT. Scott@Falconi says the spring rate in the MT will lower the front more that the AT and lower the front and back evenly. My guy who did the work told me the car dropped 10 mm (less than 1/2"). Another guy from Honolulu has the same setup. Should be no problem. My TL drives fine with my 19's and no rubbing.

 

Not much difference in height.

LBZTL is correct it evens the corners out, the drive is not that much differn't then the regular suspension.



I had three guys in the car at lunch, and no problem rubbing with a 275/30/19 in the rear.

Thanks gents!
I'm still debating what suspension setup to go with 18's and to get rid of the fender well gap (or most of it) and it doesn't sound as though the A-spec will do the job no matter which package i buy.

Interesting considering Comptech, Eibach and H&R don't make different springs for AT and MT.

 

I too have the same setup A-Spec MT / CT RSB in my AT. I love mine, front & backare even, car track incredibly better.

 

So who if anybody has taken measurements before and after A-spec install to document the amount of drop........some have said 5/8", 3/4" so whats the scoop fellas??
