I am lowering the RDX now, and took off the passenger side first. looking at the springs it looks like they have the damn part numbers messed up unless I'm being retarded...


Front Spring, Right - Part Number 4071.001
Front Spring, Left - Part Number 4071.011


My passenger spring looks like the Front spring Left. why cant they put passenger or driver LOL.


Can anyone help me out? I don't think its physically possible to use the other one!!

All done! the rears were cake and took like 15 minutes a side once I found the single bolt holding in the spring that u access from underneath the car haha. I tore half the cargo area out looking for it. Pics soon for all the haters saying it needed more LOW haha

Definatly needs an alignment, and I have to replace one ABS sensor that the 2 little wires riped out, I just unbolted the other side to be safe when taking out the clip.

wondering what you think of the handling/ride if you get a chance

my experience with the eibach is that the vehicle handles better.. a smidge stiffer ride but doesnt sacrafice comfort

wife loves it - Says it rides even smoother & easier to put the baby seat in. Handles way better and really big difference in the body roll. Now if we can get the rear sway bar bluecarbon is working on...

She hates the CPE intake I put on the same day though! darthvader sound.. i liked it, but that was a waste of $!

I just lowered mine. Yeah, the part numbers the instructions tell you for the front are reversed. They are spun the wrong way.

Any pics? Hopefully before and after but I'm not picky

at least you didnt have seized rear bolts :-(. my isntallation of my coilovers sucked. the cpe grows on you in time. i have mine slammed so easy to get the baby in and out lol. But i hit parking concrete things with the tow hooks in the front gotta not pull up so far.

What was the drop height on the eibach springs

mrgold35

It is about 1" to 1 1/4" all around. I used my OEM shocks/struts with eibach springs and it ran perfectly for 100,000 miles. The OEM shocks/struts finally gave out and I decided to upgrade to KYB shocks, struts, and strut top mounts. The new set-up caused knocking noise everytime I turned the wheel at low speed. I was only able to get the knocking to stop by purchasing new OEM strut assembly for the fronts and I had to go back to OEM springs+KYB shocks in the rear.

I might have been better off if I stayed with OEM parts with the eibach springs like before. I did upgrade my RSB with Progress (on stiffest setting) and the new set up feel almost the same with eibach (a touch smoother ride and just don't have the drop anymore).

I now have a set of eibach springs on the garage floor collecting dust.
