The ride to me, has a more taught, or more athletic feel.
Firm, but not harsh, smooth, but not floating. It definitely has a More Connected to the Road feel.

I Feel the end results are Very Comfortable, Dialed in for daily driving.

Yeah, the badge would prob look better on the lower right of the door rather than the middle.

I think it looks great with the gunmetal wheels.

And +1 for taking off the badge or whatever on the door. Would look so much cleaner without it.

MODS...can you lock this thread?

A few have asked about, the specifics of the custom wound coil springs, yet the OP isn't willing to divulge info.

Let this fall to page 2, and beyond.

The Method used on the Coils is Proprietary.
And was done as a Special favor to me, And Only for me. There is Zero plans for mass production of said coils.

at a new member asking a mod to close someone else's progress thread just because the OP didn't answer their question how they wanted him to.

let the haters hate.

I think this makes the MDX look 100x better. Just wish there was a way for us 'non connected' folks to get these springs.

Actually I wish someone would make a coilover kit and call it a day.

I think it looks great. Probably won't follow suit but interested to see the custom spring info. What are your next plans for it?
