Is the A Spec no longer sold? I tried to order one (Acura RSX 2002-2006) for my EP3 but website shows it is not orderable...

Yes, it is still sold. Curry Acura still can get them.

Ok thanks, must be something going on with their website. From what I hear these are plug and play for the EP3.

Yes, little grinding down in the rear. Very good setup for a DD; I've had mine in for a couple of months now, and no complaints, especially with the relatively cheap price.

That thread discusses it (and the whole ASPEC package) in very good detail.

Thanks, I am between the A Spec or getting the Bilstein B8 struts to go with my HFP springs but I am not sure if the Bilsteins fit with the HFP without any other work. I think the A Spec also requires installing RSX outer tie rods...

Honestly, I forget already, but it did require about $100 in various hardware parts to work correctly.

Do you remember if it came with a spec sheet with alignment numbers?

That might have been with the install instructions, I forget that too. :mangel: But I just got an alignment afterwards to specs to put me stock-ish.

Well I got the ASPEC installed in my garage but now Firestone says they cannot align it to the HFP numbers I took with me because the camber bolt already installed "maxed out" of adjustment so it now sits at -1.8 degrees of camber on driver side wheel...it sucks. So I am thinking I need to find a suitable set of camber bolts that have the recommended travel range to get to HFP specs...so one front wheel on the red, and one rear wheel is on the red for camber as well and the rear is not adjustable without a kit...

I'm also on A-Spec, I used the stock camber bolts.
