A-Spec suspension kit question

I'm thinking about buying the OEM A-Spec kit for my 05 base model. I'm looking at the kit on ebay for about 500 bucks. Not my main concern, but is this a good deal? My real question about the kit is, is everything I need included in the kit? Is there anything else I'm going to need to buy to install the kit? It's part number 08W60-SEP-200. Thanks!!!

-Leo

yes the price is fine and yes everything is included in the kit for install. I got mine from Curry Acura few months back...if you looking for a stiff ride that will not do the trick car is alsmost the way it was on the base tl susp, the drop is not huge neither but i like it.

Argh! So I bought the kit from an ebay seller a couple of days ago, and I got a message from him today that the kit was damaged, and they don't have any more available. Total bummer. I feel like it wasn't meant to be.

So what would it cost to have a shop install this suspension kit?

SHouldn't cause much to install cause I heard the shocks and springs are already put together. Just a matter of removing the old ones I guess.

Does anyone know if going from a base suspension to an A Spec will need some camber correction though?

Shouldn't in terms of a camber kit (if that's what you're asking), but you should get the car realigned after the installation.
