Sorry to waste a thread. I am just soooooooooooooo happy that I finally ordered the A-Spec suspension kit for my TL. It'll be here by Monday. I can't wait!!! Wife doesn't know yet, but a guy should be allowed to splurge for his 40th birthday right? Especially since no one got me a present worth shit.

Since I already have an A-Spec badge and Falconi's is including one with my purchase, I have an extra. Anyone want it? Too bad, I am gonna keep it.

Sweet mine showed up on Wednesday, going over the weekend to get them installed at the local performance shop. Acura wanted 425 green backs for the install

Local performance shop wants a $100. Done deal

better yet, do it yourself lol

i installed the comptech springs myself, it should be real easy with the whole strut instead of compressing the springs

its literally 4-6 bolts on each corner

but back seats have to come out, i also didnt wanna take the chances of techs getting grease on my seats

Happy 40th dcarlin. i was at Downey Acura the other day for my A-1 service, and the parts guy tells me he can't find the a-spec suspension in the computer. He thinks they stopped manufacturing it (SUCKS!#%@!) anyone know if there is gonna be a new one out? happy 40th dcarlin

I ordered a set from them as well and let me tell you that dealer rocks!. I live in NY and they had those puppies to me in 2 days flat! $ 800 shipped was the total. Talk to Doug and tell him Greg sent you and maybe he will hook up future buyers for a littl more discount. Super nice dealership. I've tried calling many other dealerships about ordering hem seperately but they either said forget it OR, we don't split kits OR they are discontinued OR can we can order them but for full price. falconis is the way to go and just about the only delaer that will split it up

I had a pretty slow garage sale on Saturday, so I decided to go ahead and install my suspension. Wow! I absouletly love it. I case you guys didn't know this yet, one does not have to take the back deck off to replace the shocks like it states in the instructions, unless you have a fat stubby hand/fingers.

I don't think we ever figured out who makes the A-Spec suspension. Falconi sells the straight Acura A-Spec suspension.

I agree with Orange Cream...there is not a day when I am disappointed for having the A-Spec suspension, even with stock 17" wheels and better tires. Fun, fun, FUN!

p.s.--dcarlinf1, I'll take your A-Spec badge off your hands. I don't intend to stick it to my car right now, but could change my mind in future. PM me.

THATS AWESOME! Even more reason for me to install myself .How long did it take you from start to finish and how difficult was it? I assume you are getting the alignment done?? Also, did you get instructions with them from Falconis or did you go by the service manual? I received no instructions from them. Also, Doug over there is really cool and hooked me up. For $ 800 shipped to my door all the way from las vegas to NY, he used 2 day air shipping and I received them in a total of 3 days. Just awesome dealership!

I'd allow 1 hr per corner if you are not using airtools and a lift.

I'm not planning on doing an alignment as the car still tracks fine and the drop is ever so mild that I'm guessing I'm still within specs. I've dropped an Accord, an s2000' and several civics with Eibach springs, which were about an inch and none of them ever needed to be realigned. If the TL is off, it will be ever so slight to the negative side and I don't mind running that way.

Call Scott or Doug up and ask them for a set of instructions, (you need to ask), as Honda never supplies instructions with their accessories, since it is a dealer provided service. I have both the supplied instructions and the Service Manual and have to say the instuctions provided with the kit are just fine.

You can get the instructions on line.
