I have been scouring the internet to figure out a way to lift my 2010 RDX and i have found nothing. I think it would look awesome lifted a few inches. someone help.
Thanks!!

I honestly have never heard of someone lifting a car-based crossover. Ever. Good luck sir.

Check in with BC Racing as I thought they were still offering adjustable coilovers for the RDX. I would ask if they are adjustable past stock height but I seem to remember someone saying they had already checked.

You could probably get a custom air bag setup that would let you do it.

Then I suggest you take a look at the jeep patriot/compass forums, the jeep grand cherokee forums, the volkswagen touareg forum, the jeep liberty forum...etc. It is actually very easy to do, but the issue is that you may put the cv joint at a very awkward angle which could lead to premature failure.

they are not they start at -1.25 below stock ride height.


as far as lifting this thing get a set of springs made. you'll probably need to send in some stock springs but it would be cool to see a lifted RDX.

or get some spacers made at a machine shop. cheaper and functional.

Jeep owners are going to Jeep, that's just a fact of life. I should have excluded them in the fine print because those people are fucking nuts. And the Touareg rides on a dedicated SUV platform shared with other SUV's under the VW group. Count it if you wish, but I think the intent of my post was pretty clear. The RDX absolutely does not have the same off-road capability or intent as Jeeps and Touaregs. That said, you are definitely correct about the potential CV issues - same risk as when you lower a car too far.

No!! No!! Noooooooooooooo!!!!

You are right and wrong, you are right that some of those vehicles had parts from jeep. But thats beyond the point, the argument was that you never seen a car based cross over being lifted, so I gave you a few examples to show that it was possible, not necessarily to say that the RDX is an off road machine

I am in agreement with you 110% that the RDX is not, and will never be "real" off road capable. I don't think the suspension or awd system is nearly robust enough to handle pounding off road.

Lastly and unrelated, but I wish Acura would have made some sort of track mode where the system could lock into the 70% rear bias and a snow mode for a 50/50 balance.

Well if we're being technical I'm still right. Because in truth, before you pointed out your examples, I had honestly never heard of someone lifting a crossover. lol

But now I'm just arguing to argue because I'm bored at work and the holiday weekend is calling me. So there's that.

RDX10

Lol oh why not! But seriously, why no AWD lock button Acura!!

SO what the guy wants to lift his RDX? Its his car right?

I fact I would love to see a RDX lifted a bit with bigger tires. Would be totally different than what I've seen until now....

I've seen lifted Golfs, Imprezas, Minis.... so why not a small SUV like the RDX

Hey, I never said he should or shouldn't do it. Just that it wouldn't "really" make sense. But I would still love to see it lol.
