I'm from brooklyn and the stock suspension on the RDX just falls apart (no composure) over the roads in some parts of NY as well as the 278. Especially in the rear. the stock rear suspension it's super hard on the RDX.
you mentioned the "rough ride". can you give us a more in depth comparison on the ride quality between stock vs bc coilovers?
AWESOME CAR BY THE WAY!

RE: Rear camber kit
I am pretty sure we can make or arrange to have something made here. We need an RDX here to take some measurements off of so we can send them off for production.
RE: Wings and stuff
We have a pretty extensive ability to make carbon and fiberglass parts in a very nice quality. We spoke with BigHatch about this during the install of his exhaust. We have some ideas right now we think you would all like to see.

ZeroGravity, awesome to know that someone on this board is from NYC and has installed the BC coilovers on the RDX.

thanks for the compliment... I recently adjusted mines to be softer and the ride in my opinion feels better than stock. of course when you hit a pot hole it does feel a bit more than stock but in general the ride to me is better now that I soften it up a bit.
Sorry if this sound contradicting LOL

By any chance do you have pictures of what one of your rear wing would look like?. In one of my post I posted pictures of the Porsche Cayenne rear wing which in my opinion looks aggressive and sportish which I like.

^ wow you really went low! 
I would have to roll my fenders to go that low. I always loved that color on the rdx. I am loving how we RDX enthusiast stepping it up! I waited almost 2yrs for this lol. Hopefully it doesn't stop here

Congrats Crazycated, enjoy in good health.
You can put on some wheel spacers to push out your wheels.
She is looking good. How do you like the handling?
Once you guys get used to your improved handling and start to get the itch for even better handling then please visit the "rear sway bar" thread and lets see if we can't get us a bigger rear sway bar.

I installed the Eibach front camber bolts, washed the car (finally) and took some pics.
I am counting only four of us who got these BC coilovers. BU, Zerogravity, Crazycated, and me. Anyone else getting a set?

UPDATE!!!
OK I been playing around with the suspension... and decided to adjust it to soft.. and wow I must say this suspension is awesome! although a little jumpy it feels very close to stock and what I mean with that is you barely feel the potholes and bumps like you would with the suspension set on hard. Definitely a must have MOD! I get many compliments and even get pulled over by the Honda crew for questions LOL. mzhao84 jump on these. I am very satisfied with my purchase plus this is the only option we RDXers have ... If you want you can come over to the Bronx and I'll show you how it rides.

wspy,
1 degree extra in the rear is not that bad, at that... Heel toe mentioned he can make the rear camber adjustable arm.
Heel Toe, will you make us an adjustable camber arm?

I have a potential fabricator who can make us a chamber adjustable rear suspension arm.
How many people would be interested in this product?
If interested at what price point?

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes
Just base on price range from Ingalls & SPC in other Acura models
would love to be $200-250 for Independent Fabricator producing small batch ?
Just my estimate
