For about $600, can't you almost get Tein Basics? Why bother with OEM?

A-spec drop is about 1" compared to the TL and TL-S? How is the ride compared to the stock TL-S?

Drop is about an inch yeah. The ride is a good deal firmer than the base suspension, I don't have a type-s to compare. It's not terribly hard though, definitely manageable.

Dealers dont do group buys (as far as i know)... But 650.00 direct from the dealer is a good deal.

I paid about $600 from Curry Acura. I like the aspec suspensions feel much better than OEM. Much more tight and firm. The height was perfect when I got it - about a 3/4 inch drop. But then I lost a few hundred pounds of weight from the car when I discoverd the TL "diet". Now the height is back up, higher than before with stock. Gotta figure out what to do about that. The wheel gap is killing me.....

what springs are you using with Konis? How much did you pay? And how much is the car lower?

Stock springs, $509 shipped from XLR8, 20mm lower which is .78", basically the same as A spec on the drop but adjustable damping.
