I'll apologize right now for this thread being neither fun nor sexy. But I have a question, and that's what this is for, right? So I have an AT '08 Type S, and I do want to do something to the suspension soon. Got 50k miles on her now and need some spice back in this relationship. So my question. I know the MT A-Spec drops the front a lot more than the AT. It's actually too much though (compared to how the rear sits) IMO. But the AT A-Spec will have the front looking higher, which I hate with a passion. What would happen if I put the AT base model A-Spec susp on my AT Type S??? Would I get a front drop somewhere inbetween the other two scenarios I just mentioned? That would be perfect for what I'm looking for. Anyone who feels they have insight into this please chime in. And yes, I know I'm a huge pussy for not just getting adjustable coilovers. I still might. But let's run through this first. Thanks, all.

 

I believe the aspec suspension only comes in one flavor now.
1 part number supersedes the rest.

 

Damn, I take it the h&r guy didn't come thru?

 

I was a little confused too since there is just one part number now. Does that mean they blended all the spring rates together into one unit instead of making 3 or 4 different types?

 

Eibach actually. He did come through, it's just not the discount i was hoping for. I can get them for $1250 shipped (which is cost supposedly ... not much markup). Retail is typically $1799. So it's a good deal, but I really dont want to drop it 1.4" min. I'm looking for about 0.5" rear and 1.0" front. Now if it wouldve only been say $700'ish ... I'd have just done it.


This is the first I've heard of this. Very interesting. And potentially shitty. I'll have to call my parts guy at Acura and see if he knows more about this.


Damn, I rambled on like a mofo in this.

 

If you're willing to spend 800 you can get Megan ss coils which can go from stock height to dumped.
