No the high beams are not HID, just the low and the fogs.

I can't post any pictures yet but there are some side views of the car in my album, which you can view by clicking either on my name or my garage on the left of this post (i think)

At this rate someone will have to PM me in 3 years when this list makes it to 50 ppl. That was probably the original production amount of the first batch that sold out.

Wouldn't 20-30 be consider a group buy already? But 50 people - that is just ridiculous.
We need 1 RDX owner per state to meet the production batch.

I like that ride MrGold, I haven't seen that color before it looks really nice. It's also amazing the difference the front underbody spoiler makes. Without it the car almost looks 'naked' in the front.

Nice rims too, are they really OEM? Doesn't look like acura center caps.

The tires are OEM, the wheels are RJs.

Acura only had this color for 07-08 model years only. I hope they bring back Moroccan Red Pearl with the all new RDX in a few years. I decided on the 18" RonJon Legend Liquid Graphite rims because I was able to do the 18"_rims+Hondata_reflash+Eibach springs for about the same price as 19" RonJon+19" tires. If RonJon had 20" Legends, I would of gone with them (Hint, Hint, RonJon).

Our RDX will never see off road duty and the sh-awd is geared more for sport driving compared to all terrain. The Eibach springs were the perfect fit for our urban driving habits. The Eibach feel just like the stock springs with less body roll on the curves, a lesser amount of squat during acceleration, and a reduced amount of dive during braking.

The Eibach springs won’t turn the RDX into a sport car; it will still feel like a 2-ton top heavy CUV on the curves when you are off the accelerator. The RDX will feel more sporty and controlled when the sh-awd and turbo kicks in on the same curve. I think there are very few CUV/SUVs (other than AMG M-class, M5, M6, or Porsche Cayenne) that can out run the RDX on the curves with Eibach+hondata+summer tires.

For anyone on the fence, GET THE EIBACH SPRINGS!!

No pics of the grill yet. It's just a simple spray job. Problem is that rocks have caused the paint to chip so I'll have to find a better solution and repaint it. I'll add pics to my album once it's nice an pretty again.

And yes, anybody on the fence about the springs should just go for it while they last! I'm glad I did.

On some CR-V boards they have some "Modulo" body kit and springs/dampers that people get from like the Philippines or somewhere over there...another option. They are factory parts. Mugen-like.

These look amazing, I wasn't sure how it would look actually because for a cuv the stance is not that bad stock. I am definitely going this route. How are we going to get 50 people for real? So no one at all has these in stock in the US? I don;t want to wait until we get 50, that will probably never happen

We are not. I will ask again anyone else??? The RDX is an SUV not a Civic. Besides the demographic who buys an RDX has other things to spend their money on, like $550 ottomans (thanks honey).

Anyway to speak to Eibach again and start a group buy with a more reasonable number?

Like 10 to 20 ain't that bad.
They can make a batch and let their suppliers sell the rest online.

I might have a connection at Eibach and maybe able to get them to do a run. Lets see if we can at least get to 10 and I'll contact them.

Can you find out the cost of the springs if you have ten on the list?
