Well its the Acura A-Spec drop, which is only about an inch... from what I hear though the performance gains are really good, while keeping a stock ride feel... sounds like a great set-up.

Before I purchased the suspension I notice through all the pictures that it doesn't lower it too much either - but its actually a noticeable difference in person. I did not want to drop any more than that nor have poor ride quality. Pass experience with my previous car. I already scratch on my driveway when I'm coming down alil too quick - Here are some stock pictures sometimes near when I first purchased my car.

Decently noticeable drop in person and very noticeable improvement in handling.

I see it now. You can see it if you look at the wheel well gap its definitely less. Pluss I have nice set Volk GT-U's that I will be installing so the gain in the wheel size and the loss in height will look nicely.

I have a 06 CGP with a new a-spec suspension and Progress sway bar sitting in the garage. I need to get mine installed so I can hit the mountain roads.
A lot of post on TSX owners picking Progress RSB because it is easy to install, user friendly with other aftermarket exhausts, and the price seems to be just right.

This is the drop I'm looking to do. Something low enough for better handling but high enough to be "wife proof".

Tell me about it. My girlfriend hates it when I mod any of my cars so this is the drop for me. When I first got the TSX she said she was gong to keep her eye out for any mods so I doubt she'll notice this. The only comprimise we came up with was that I would only get rimms when I neeed new tires and thats all she wants me to do. But to bad she doesnt know I have a sick set of Volk in my closet. :rollsmile

why do people get the A-spec suspension? theres barely a visual difference? or is it all for how it feels?

Agreed. Mine was hardly noticable at first, but I sometimes park next to a stock 04/05 CGP at work and my ride's definitely lower. I like the handling upgrade as well. It's the ultimate "livable drop" up here in the Northeast.

Its to get the handling upgrade without having to cringe everytime you see a speed bump or a steep driveway.

It's a bit more noticeable once the suspension settles in as well.
i think A-Spec drop the 06-07 TSX more than the 04-05. The pics of your ride look much lower than people with the 04-05 TSX
