The A-Spec is Acura-designed so that is the brand name on everything. It is springs and shocks. And it makes a HUGE difference in driving dynamics without sacrificing ride quality. There are multiple threads on the A-Spec so you may want to search for that in combination with 20" wheels for more specific comments relevant to your situation.

Installation cost depends on where you go. Mine was $250 at my dealer 1 1/2 years ago, but I think they were just being nice to a frequent customer, most will charge more.

Hey VINI, did the 20's affect your speedo or ABS at all? I can't decide between 19s or 20s...Post some pics if you can...Thanks

Speedometer reading with 245-35/20 versus stock 235-45/17 is 5.6% too slow. When the speedo reads 60 mph, you are actually traveling 63.4 mph. 235-30/20 would only read 0.9% too slow but sidewall height would only be 2.8" high (versus 4.2" for stock wheels).

ABS and TCS should not be significantly affected since all 4 wheels are the same size.

$600 from Acura of Escondido's eBay store. Because it's an acura dealership, you get a one-year warranty along with it. I highly recommend them and others on the board have purchased there.

Neuronbob seems to have answer your question. But if you can afford it go with 20, with the 245-35-20 the car looks perfect in my opinion!
