A-Spec suspension DONE!

I just got done with the install....the hardest part all that rear seat crap..IMO if I had to do it again take out the rear seat first while you are clean a your mind is fresh....JMHO...install for me about 5.5 hours with two breaks.....two sets of hands helps...dad was around a help a little..at times was more in the way...the rear seat total time around an hour....the suspension itself was soooo freakin easy. Please don't be scared to do this mod....Now time to take a shower and drive the baby...A-Spec and the new exhaust it should be fun!!!!!!!!

How is the exhaust? Do you mind sharing how much it cost you?

Congrats on the A-spec.

I think it looks good....I want wheels next...I am either going with the aspec wheels or the INSPYRE, but I am not sure yet. I am sure that will be early next year....maybe feb or March, and when I have that done I will have the Brembo CD and Slotted Rotors installed along with Axxis Brakes pad. Up next is the Acura Door Sills.

depends, if I can land a set of A-Spec wheels cheap I may go with them....I have time, so its not a big deal. The one I know I will not have is the Aspec body kit, My wife hates it, so I bought another set of mud flaps and I am going to have them painted same color as the car.

I have my eye on them now....I bet the bidding ends up around 750.00 maybe more...and I don't care to spend that right now...me and wife just planned a cruise...and I am out about 4k+ so the wheels will have to wait

Thats good that you're getting a pretty even drop than having the rear lower causing the rear rake that people get when the put the AT version on rather than the MT.
