RXS A-Spec

I go to the Acura dealer, and I see a RSX in the show room. It said on the back RSX Type S then it had the metal badge under it "A Spec" It looked reallly tight. I mean, the wing was huge, the lips were amazing, and it had 19 inch rims. It had a nice lowering kit too. All was fine, until the price!! 33,00!!!! for a RSX!! rediculous!

Acura A-Spec = Honda HFP.

I saw an A-Spec RSX this past weekend. It's nothing more than a R wing, Acura OEM lip kit, lowering springs, and different rims. Ooo. And a cool shift ****.

I never said I was gonna buy it, I had to pick up a friend who took in her TSX for an oil change. While she was at the cashier, I saw it in the showroom.

Well where are those pics of your "RS6" you were going to put up? I still want a pic of you standing it front of it with a sign that says "I Love Bacon."

You said you were gonna put them up, what happened?

I've seen the A-SPEC stuff at some of the auto shows - it's pretty nice but they charge way too much. I would rather put my own stuff on the car if I were to put a kit or something on it - I like it clean and stock looking anyway

I saw an A-Spec in San Antonio this past winter at Gunn Acura. It was pretty nice but a lot of what was done was to lure the average buyer in, not people like us....

Someone else said they'd buy an RS6 before they'd buy and RSX-A Spec for the same price.

Yup, the price for the A-Spec RSX is crazy. But I have heard of a few owners getting it at around $25k.

Aren't the A-spec models only available in Japan? I read about the Acura TL A-spec and that thing was more than just a simple factory kit and rims or whatever. It had like 8-pot brakes and all this crazy stuff on it.

Bullsh*t. The Aspec package comes with 17 inch wheels, not 19s. And the suspension drops it 1 inch. The package cost about $4K so the most I've seen a Aspec RSX go for was about $28K.

Post a picture up of this Aspec RSX Type S with 19 inch wheels and a $33K price tag. They must be some spinners for the price to be that much.

The worst thing I noticed was that the brake package wasn't upgraded. Should have put some bigger rotors in there

It's not uncommon for a dealer to put on their own set of custom wheels. Only problem is that they charge you a grip more than if you bought it yourself. So lets say 19s will cost the typical person about 2 grand. I'm not talking about JDM wheels or forged wheels by the way. The dealer will probably charge near $3000 alone for the custom wheel upgrade. Plus, the dealer near my house rarely has any A-Spec TLs or RSXs around because all of the average buyers get hooked by the modified car. Hence, they probably inflate the price from over demand.

Heres a pic of a RSX Type S with the Aspec package.

The package includes, OEM lip kit, ITR Spoiler, 17 inch wheels, better struts and spring combo with a 1 inch drop, and a titanium shift ****. I'm pretty sure thats it.
