First you already have a sway bar.. if you wanted you can get an aftermarket one. A noticeable difference has been achieved by people with the AM but not so much for the manual. you DO NOT need to get an aftermarket sway bar for the suspension but I am sure IF YOU have the AM then it would be a more aggressive drive.

You can do it yourself, not too difficult I hear... but again i am not mechanically inclined so i pay people to do this stuff for me.

Aside from the Las Vegas Acura dealer are there any other dealerships (pref in CA) that will part out the aspec suspension? All the local places I tried wont part it out because acura wont sell them just the aspec suspension. if there are any places that do sell just the suspension, what are they listing it for?

There are 2 places on E-Bay that sell the part. Falconi in Las Vegas for $650 and A of E in California for $600.

Acura of Escondido is located in San Diego county, they are pretty good about giving out good deals, however the 7.75% tax is kind of a drag...

I bought it from out of state... no tax. $600 for kit + $50 for shipping... hell of deal. The guys at of AofE were excellent. They shipped me a TSX suspension by accident and realized it before I received it. They recalled it and shipped me the TL suspension and threw in a free A-Spec badge @ N/C for the inconvenience. They were a pleasure to deal with. I think the guys name is Scott.

can i ask if you guys have ever tried pricing A-spec suspenion from your local dealer? b/c personally im am iffy about this. i am an Acura Accessory tech, and i havennt done one suspension change on any TLs. i have on other A-spec cars, but not the TL.... also, on the Honda Interactive network (its a Honda employee only thing) i dont show a listing for a different suspension on the Accessories page
