Who wants the Aspec Suspension?!?!

Hey i just emailed Curry acura on ebay and they said they will do 600 for the Aspec Suspension!! and free shipping! I think this is a great deal being they're asking 750, but the order has to be put in by end of day monday. I'm doing it for the 6MT but I'm sure they would do it for Type-S aspec, and automatics. Let me know what you guys think.

Sounds like a good deal!

I was on the trail of an A-Spec suspension as well, but I think that I want to go with a tad lower drop a la Eibach, Comptech, H & R, etc...

That is a fantastic price, about the same for what I paid back in 2005. Good work nailing that price!

lavo,
good looking out with the suspension deal. Just got off the phone with Curry Acura and I have my set being shipped out today and then getting here by Friday. Total cost: $600. Suspension, emblem and shipping. Thanks.
For anybody else hit them up:

1-800-725-2877
and ask for John or Joe for details

Can anyone point me to review of standard Type-S suspension VS A-Spec? What do you buy with A-Spec?

Slightly lower ride height (~3/4") and slightly stiffer ride than TL-S. Replaces OEM coilovers with A-Spec coilovers (both non-adjustable).

Do a search, there's a ton of reviews.

Wow all of acurazine is going to be lowered! Nice guys, glad I could help out. I'm surprised they took 600 for it when they were asking 750.

lavo,
have you gotten your suspension kit yet? To my surprise, mine got down here to SC in 3 days. Did you take a look at the part numbers. The part number on the box says 08W60-SEP-201A and I didn't know if that is just an updated or newer version of the 08W60-SEP-200A that is mentioned several times in the forums. Any help guys. The instructions that it came with also mentioned that it was for a 2007 TL. Any differences?

Also no emblem even though I was told they were going to include it

Yes I received it, check your packing slip attached to the box, that's where the emblem is. I did not look at the part numbers, maybe I should. I'll let you know when I look at it.

Just got off the phone with joe and he said it's the updated version for a 2004-2006 MT- obviously non type-s. Let me know about the emblem!

manual is stiffer, the front is meant to support the heavier manual transmission. correct me if I'm wrong.

i received my a-spec suspension from curry. however, the box looks to be opened already and the suspension has noticeable scuff marks. It seems like it was installed already. Anyone else's the same?
Also, i didnt see any a-spec badging for the trunk. Are you suppose to receive one with the suspension?

I didnt get mine from Curry, but mine was covered in dust....The dust was easily removed (i.e. put your fingers on it, it comes right off)....Could be just from manufacturing? Wiped it clean...looks new now, lol..

mine did not include the a-spec badge upon delivery of the a-spec suspension. However, a quick email to John solved this problem. He is UPSing a badge to me w/ no questions asked. So far, outstanding service and pricing from Curry Acura Parts dept.

havent really gone insane with the new a-spec suspension yet, just a few fwy off ramps but so far, the car's definitely more planted through the turns. The amount of drop imo is very tasteful. It's settling in at about 26.5" all around; not too high, not too low.
