Just got my two KYB rear shocks, two Acura OEM front struts, and one set of the ATLP / Eibach pro series lowering springs.

My ride is well... hard just like the average first generation RDX. But as of today, it makes no squeaks or clunks... although the passenger side strut has begun to leak.

I Ordered the springs last year during the Acurazine / heal toe automotive group buy. Apparently they were discontinued and Heal Toe got them re-ran through the production line. They just arrived today. Ordered Sep/2012.

I look at this as preventive maintenance... with a dash of performance by throwing the lowing springs on the car.

I look forward to the installation, and improved driving dynamics.

If anyone has suggestions, questions, or comments... fell free to add to this thread. Pics to come.

why didnt you get kyb up front too? imo making them match would be best

Good question, I got the Acura ones for $100 less.

I head KYB typically provides a stiffer ride, and the oem strut seemed to be tuned stiff from the factory. Hoping it works out for me

Do u think these will fit on a 2010 RDX?

if they have them in stock.. the 07-12 suspension are the same

Mr Marco

That is the key question.

Yes, Doubtful they are in stock tho. I would call healtoe automotive, I attached the link to their web page for the same product listing. They have them in stock %100.

Installed the springs and struts at my house last week. The ride is much better and it handles much more sporty, body role is reduced easily by 25%

I had it aligned yesterday at my job - Performance Race Solutions in Sanford Florida. I tossed a pic in of that as well, hard to focus on my silly RDX when it is surrounded by race cars. Hidden in the shadows to the left of my car is a worked Lamborghini Superleggera

The Toe was thrown off due to the inch drop, which was expected. The alignment solved the issue. I would recommend everyone dose an ALL WHEEL alignment ASAP once new suspension parts are installed.

More pics to come of final install, let me know if y'all like it?

If in the central Florida area, feel free to swing by and check us out.

Does anyone make front spoilers for 2010 RDX? I've researched but couldn't find any rdx specific ones

vaprea

NO, from what I know just the 07-09 Front and rear underbody / pumper spoiler . Found the rear spoiler on eBay $99 Shipped. Seller has 10 in stock.
