A-spec suspension now official standalone option?

I see from the Build Your TL module on the acura.ca website that there is a Sport Suspension option for $1,400 CDN (about $1100 US). Has Acura finally given us a factory A-spec suspension option (1" lowering springs + shocks/struts) or is this a dealer installed mystery suspension (e.g., Comptech)?

Perhaps this is a Canada only option?

Welcome to the forum.

Very cool. Hope it's true.

But I doubt it's not the factory setup but, still, the dealer's installation.

Depends on your definition. That's the ASPEC suspension as Acura defines it, coilovers, Brembo's, 18's. And yes, you can get that by itself (dealer installed option, like all TL options except 5AT/6MT). They started splitting up the ASPEC package for 05. Unfortunately, most dealers won't sell you just the coilovers...but that's why some progressive dealers out west are making a killing on eBay...
