Lowered Rdx

Here`s a picture of my lowered rdx. Hope you guys like it. Its a finger gap with 20 inch rims. My rear camber is at 3.5 in the driver rear and 3.1 in the passenger rear. Cant do anything about since we don`t have any camber kits for our suv. For everyone to see I will put a picture of my rdx at stock height with 20 inch rims. or

i kinda like it with the stock height better. But my preference is for the tires not to be in the well from a side view.

how much lower than stock is it? what did you use to lower it?

The reason why the tires are in the wheel well is i had to wait to let the coilovers settle the front is almost flush. The rears I can`t do anything because I need a camber kit and no body makes it for the rdx. I told my guy to do 2 finger gap but it ended up being 1 finger gap. I think from stock its about 2 inches give or take. one last thing cause now I`m lowered I feel it faster cause its closer to the ground and handles like its a go-cart. I`m on the Bc coilovers. I will get my friend to take pictures of my rdx but right now the weather keeps acting up and snow lol.

What color did you get... Yea i like the style of volks but the price for 20`s would break the bank so I got ones that look like it. Before the alignment the tires were less then half an inch from the wheel well. Now the front is almost flush and the back is better then before but its negative 3 in the rear cause no camber kit for the rdx yet. Also depends what size tires. I`m using 235-45-20 so it doesnt touch but if you did 255 to 275 then you cant lowered it to my height without rolling the fenders or do crazy camber.

This isn't strickly a TL meet, it's just most other vehicles don't seem to want to meet up or just "talk" about it and it never falls through. I set it up to gather fellow car enthusiasts to come out and just hang. So you guys are more than welcome to join in on the coffee & meet sundays

i'm in guelph. Give some notice ahead of time and I'd be alright with meeting up. Still waiting for my mechanic to free up some time to install my eibach springs with my 20" rims.

So are we on for tomo? I can bring the RDX, but some people from the TL meet prefer I bring my TL. Either way both my rides are stock at the moment except for a reflash.

Thanks man. I gotta say I am making people love the Rdx after they see mine. The plate is a meme but some people think its like a siR. Pickles we got to do a mini meet sometime my friend. If you are free next week I have to see if I'm free next Sunday cause I know I have a wedding to go to but I don't know what day. But we have do do a little meet.

I wouldn't track my Rdx for the reason your pushing it hard for a long time. I'm more into meets you chill with people that have something's in common. Cayuga is pretty far just for a meet. I'm willing to do anywhere in Toronto,Richmond hill, Scarborough,markham. I have more pictures on the way. Just gotta do one last thing.
