Sounds better, but it still seems a little too much for just the suspension parts. I can get some springs for about $300, front and rear sway bars for $300, limited slip differential for $500, and really nice rims/tires for about $1000. Only $2100 and a better package, I think.

I just wish Acura would price these components according to aftermarket parts. But I guess you're paying for the 4yr warranty.

The A-Spec does not include an LSD, and the price is without installation. It's all dealer installed though, but definately not a good deal. My rims and tires came to about 1300 including shipping and that was with 17X7.5 Kosei K-1 and Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3's.

Yeah, I knew that it doesn't come with an LSD. That's why I threw it in there. A better package for a cheaper price tag.

Cheapest price I've seen on most LSD's is about 850 for KAAZ. Most are running between that and 1500. Plus the amount of labor to install will bring most up to over 2K unless you (most can't) do it yourself.

Well the one I was thinking of is actually an LSD conversion kit made by phantom works. It's only $329. Take a look at this website - http://www.phantomgrip.com/product_lists.php?make=Acura I threw in the $500 including installation. Most people wouldn't take their engine/transmission apart to just throw in an LSD. Usually they replace the flywheel/clutch and throwing in the LSD shouldn't cost much more in labor since you have all that taken apart. But I could be wrong.
