interesting... two separate occasions, same parking lot. the first picture the RDX looked a little higher than mines. both trunks were empty and mines sat lower. same with the second RDX. its just the angle of the second picture that makes it look higher but mines sits lower than a stock RDX. interesting... they are both different cars, they are not the same.

pictures were taken with my blackberry so the quailty isnt that great at all.







i just threw this picture in for fun. this is when i just got my RDX

19" wheels maybe?

Your tire diameter definitely looks larger than the CGP. Not that that explains what you are talking about. It actually looks to me like yours sits lower because of having less tire clearance. Did you actually measure the height of the wheel wells off the ground?

DNPhotography

no i didnt measure it. should have though.

With OEM 18's on mine it is exactly 30.5" to the top of the wheel well arch both front and rear.

The vertical measurement to the top of the tire is 27.5" leaving 3" wheel well clearance.

Your aftermarket 20's definitely fill the wheel well more, but then that should raise the axle height as well???

The height to the center of my wheel hub is 13.5"

It may be an optical illusion because of the contrast between the two colors.

Rooflines match up to me, so I don't see how it's possible that one sits lower than the other outside of a larger wheel diameter taking up more of the wheel gap and creating the optical illusion that it's sitting lower. But I wasn't there

Psychobroker

That too

How about one is closer to the camera than the other?

DNPhotography

in the first picture the cars were side by side and i actually noticed that my car was a little lower while sitting in the car. my driver side mirror was a little lower than his passenger side mirror. so i went out and saw that the back bumper was noticeable lower. nothing was in his trunk because i saw them load a wagon full of groceries. again the second and thrid picture is kinda hard to tell because of the angle and one car is actually closer than the other.

Maybe full gas tank vs. empty gas tank

DNPhotography

hmm that maybe. i really dont know how full my tank was at the time. but that still doesnt explain the front being lower also the second RDX.

XLR8R

Why don't you take a few measurements and see how they compare to the stock RDX numbers off of mine above?

DNPhotography

ill do that

Pete1burn

And you said "mines".

speedy_liu

Hey DNPhotography what aftermarket spring do yo have? im thinking to lower my too. Also how much did you lower yours?

jaobrien6

I'd be interested to hear the measurements. This pic *really* makes it look like you have less wheel-gap, but it could be an optical illusion from the different colors, or different sidewall height, or something.

DNPhotography

wow this is very interesting. mines does look lower, i swear lol

FRONT



BACK tank 3/4 full and some misc stuff in the trunk (stroller, PC idk lol, towels)

DNPhotography

didnt touch the suspension and i dont plan to.

Jack Bauer

I'd like to raise mine.

speedy_liu

i'd get it lower 1.5" in the front and 1.0" in the back with black 20s
