let us know how the install goes

Rotary Rocket

Congrats BU, sorry to hear about the UPS fiasco.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about installation.

I am working on a rear adjustable link with "heel toe" so we can properly adjust our rear chamber.

I'll keep you guys posted.

zerogravity

Mines Shipped out last night!!! Can't wait to have them installed.!!!

BU

Installed mind today
Installation was straight forward.
Everything as Rotary Rocket said in this thread (Thank You~!)
as I following what He mentioned about Rear preset low than front.
I raised the height 0.5 inch before install.
as my mechanic said when he raised it up 1 inch more on the rear strut, the rear spring was very lose with no tension. I wasn't at the scene, so I can't tell what actual happened.

I measured my car height in the beginning were 30" from top of fender at all 4 corners.
after BC Racing installed Front is 28", Rear is 27.75"
I may low the front by 0.5" tomorrow
Also will play around with Stiffness later on. I counted 30-31 clicks from Soft to Hard.

P.S. I has 18" rim. I know they looks small on RDX I got no money to spend on another set.

Congrats BU, she is looking HAWWWWWT.

It is actually good to change "one" thing at a time, you'll actually feel what each item will do to the handling of your car. SO...it actually works for now to keep your 18 inch rims.

When you do get a chance, going 19 with low profile tires did make a pretty difference for me.

We will need to work with Markus of Heal Toe to get some adjustable rear links. We need it to take some of the negative chamber out of the rear end.

I'm sure you know, but just in case...Eibach makes a adjustable chamber bolt for the front of our RDX, they are cheap...buy them. Once we have the rear links from Heal Toe our cars will be completly adjustable (from a suspension stand point).

Enjoy your SLAMMED ride in good health.

Cheers.

BU

Thank You Thank You

Yes, definitely need cure for the Rear Camber.

I hasn't look into any camber fix yet.
Thank You for the head up on Eibach Front Camber Bolt.

Drop it like it Hot

BU

zerogravity

Can you raise the rear more?

crazycated

My suspension also shipped out Friday should be here by the end of the day tomorrow . Also your car is looking sweet BU very nice I am so jealous till tomorrow .

crazycated

Finally BC coilovers arrived should hopefully do the install this weekend .

zerogravity

Nice!!! I need to go Pick mines up at UPS because they claims I was not Home hopefully will have them installed this weekend also.

zerogravity

just got mines installed!!! I love the height however I am not to happy with the fact it didn't come with adjustable camber plates.
Here are some pictures...
Note I didn't lower it more in the rear because I don't have my fenders rolled. once that is done I will drop it like its hot.

My preference is that stance. I hate canned cars, after owning a canned cobra I hated it but that isjust me. when you put these coils on before adjustments how much does it lower the car?

BU

^^ look awesome

Your painting on grille & front spoiler are exactly what I want to do to my RDX.
Thank You for your pictures

zerogravity

Thanks BU.
@ Lanesky What is Canned ? sorry never heard of that. LOL ... I am going to be completely honest I didn't take before and after measurements. I was just looking to eliminate the huge gap from the wheel to the fender. I might lower it more down the line but who knows am kinda liking the way it sits currently. Let me know what you guys think.

I think it looks perfect at that height the painted grill and bumper look good

Lanesky_OH8RDX

Canned is maxing out the lowering possibilities of your suspension setup. making the ride suck, making the tires rub more than erotic masseuse givin ya a happy ending at a massage parlor and putting the camber out of this world. lol

zerogravity

LMFAO got it! LOL... I learned something new..

BigHatch

wait, now i'm confused... what is the "stock" BC setting in the rear? where zerograv has it?

Then what did you raise up BU? It seems yours would have been even more slammed another 0.5" down...

crazycated

Hey zerogravity did you install yourself or did you have someone do it for you and if so how much $$ ? Yeah I probably wont get mine this weekend my buddy that's helping me out wont have a chance till next week to help me out .

zerogravity

BigHatch stock setting it really low... I raised both therear springs and the struts to obtain that height. I left the front ones the way they came frm BC

zerogravity

crazycated I had my mechanic install them for 180.00 compared to other NYC prices this to me was a steal. I could had installed them myself but where i park the owner would not allow me. Plus I don't have the tools. Other than that not hard to install. I helped (supervise LOL) my mechanic install and adjust the them.

zerogravity

Now for a REAR WING something like this or similar would be nice. (top one of course still not to convince with the lower wing.)

Lanesky_OH8RDX

is that the new porsche?

zerogravity

I think it is..

BigHatch

there's some mugen stuff out there for the CR-V...

wspy

zerogravity, is that a tinted film you put on your lenses?

zerogravity

Can it b fitted to our rdx?

zerogravity

Yes sir

crazycated

Your car looks great Zerogravity

zerogravity

Thsnks crazycated. Dont forget to post pics of yours when you install your coils.

REVTEC

zerogravity...your car looks great. No one mentioned the painted roof. All looks good man. I like the stance of the car too!

zerogravity

thanks Revtec! its Satin black Vinyl

Rotary Rocket

ZeroG, just saw your car....wow totally awsome.

Very well done. Enjoy it in good health.

zerogravity

Thanks rocket! I been looking for coils over a year with no luck.... so thank you for making thing happen. Now I hope we can get the same support on a rear wing

BigHatch

...this may be very possible..

zerogravity

Bighatch please make this happen

Rotary Rocket or Zerogravity (or anyone else who has these coilovers installed): Have you guys figured out a way to get the rear camber in spec yet? If so, what was needed or done.

jperez

and zerogravity....great looking ride! what are your thoughts so far on the new suspension?

zerogravity

I have always lowered every car I've own. So for me the the ride is more enjoyable. For those who have never owned a lowered vehicle may not like the rough ride. I in the other hand love it.. My only complain are the potholes in NYC but I can't do nothing about that.
In regards to the camber.. I think you will be fine as long as you don't drop it to much. You barely notice mines... if anything I notice it more in the front than the rear.

Rotary Rocket

The front chamber was very close to stock range. You can buy adjustable camber bolts for the RDX, and they are cheap.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FRONT-CAMBER...-/260954386586

I have not installed mine yet, but I did buy them. I will actually try to add a bit more camber in front to imporve the grip.

The rear is the problem, I ended up with 2.5 degrees of camber with pretty aggressive drop in the back. The normal range should be no more than 1.5. As ZeroG said, If you don't go down too much you might be able to be OK in the back as well.

Marcus of Heel Toe Auto is potentially working on a rear adjustable camber solution for our RDX. Please show your support to him for this and lets make it happen.
