08 Suspension

Hey guys, I had a recent experience with a loaner 08 RDX that I wanted to pass along. I have a 08 RDX as well that I have had for about 3 months and have about 4,000 miles on it. I got a loaner 08 RDX while mine was being serviced and one of the first things I noticed on the loaner was how much firmer the suspension was. It was a marketable difference between the loaner and mine...the loaner had about 650 miles on it.

Could it be that the suspension gets softer as it breaks in? I checked the air pressure in the tires as I thought that might be the cause, but it was identical to mine....and mine definitely had a softer suspension, at least in my opinion.

Yes it gets softer

I have 10 thousand on mine and have noticed a somewhat smoother ride-or it can be that I am geting used to it.
I lowered air pressure cold to 32 in all tires(was 34 to 35 on delivery) .

I would have to agree! I have 24,000 miles on mine and it feels like I am getting a smoother ride.

I can tell after only about 5000 miles. Definitely smooths out.

You have an '08 & already have 24k miles on it? WOW! You drive a lot! I have an '07, 1 year old today & it only has 6150 miles on it.

...oh, & I still love the way the suspension feels on my '07 rdx!!

Sorry! Just the way you answered, I thought you were talking about an '08! That's still a lot of miles, even if it is an '07!!
