Got the suspension installed today but I've only driven about 10 miles on it so far - back home from the shop. Right off the bat though I have to say that this is the suspension that should've been STOCK on the MT. The guy at the shop said it dropped about 1" (and to my naked eye that looks about right) and from the little miles I drove the ride didn't seem to suffer at all. Handling was definitely improved though. I'll update after I've driven more on it but so far I'm yet another happy a-spec owner!

 

Awesome.. thanks for sharing the good news.. that give me some boost in confident to install the a-spec suspension kits myself. quick question, do you have to do a 4 wheels alignment after the a-spec suspension installed?

 

Well the a-spec isn't adjustable at all so not sure how the alignment would change but many people recommend getting an alignment after 2-3 weeks once the suspension has settled.

 

The general consensus is that you should get it aligned 2-3 weeks after installation so the car has a little time to "settle" first. I took mine to the dealer they had an $89 alignment special running, figured why take a chance on wearing out my tires if it's not done properly.


By the way... I too am one of the guys running the a-spec suspension and Comptech RSB on stock 17" rims and Michelin tires, what a great improvement to this car this has been! Wow what a difference! Especially the RSB...would recommend this to just about anyone.
