anyone changed their factory shocks yet?
My 2007 RDX feels "softer" these days, thinking of replacing the shocks. Anyone done that for their 07 or 08 RDX?

It's a lot of clicks but the good news is that other than doing regular service and replacing the shocks, he had no issues whatsoever with his RDX. No turbo problems, no warranty work.
My service manager thinks the RDX is the most bullet-proof of the current batch of Acuras.

I think I would have to agree there...
For the older ones, I drove my 91 integra for over 12 years without any problems... even had the original front brake pads when I sold it. WOW.

PM me if you need a reply
I'm about to change mine as I install the Eibach Pro-Kit. My RDX has 133k+ miles and feels very bouncy even over the smallest bumps at low speeds. Unfortunately, I bought it 5k miles ago and can't really compare it to a new RDX. I tried the "bounce-test" and she seems very bouncy, rocking side to side in the front. It feels loose when cornering and feels like it wants so spin out. I would love to meet up with a local RDX owner to compare and have some RDX talk 
My mechanic told me KYB was supposed to release some shocks/struts for the RDX back in dec. The GR-2 Excel-G's are shown in their catalog HERE but don't seem to be available anywhere. My mech. said he will look into it and I hope to get some and have my suspension dropped asap as I'm very anxious to get it done.

But actually, I think the original Honda designed shocks for the RDX is pretty good. When I do change it, I think the Honda OEM shocks will do fine.
