Hi New Member

Just bought a 2018 RDX base in silver with black interior. It is a certified car with only 12K miles on it. This is a trip car for my wife and I and replaces a 2009 toyota rav4 v6 which was getting long in the tooth. The Acura is certainly more luxurious and rides smoother, but does not have as much brute power and certainly does not
handle as well. The rav had the towing package with larger springs and we did later add Sach shocks to it. It cornered quite well, but did let you know when it hit a pothole. The Acura is more floaty and feels great on a smooth road, but feels like it gets a little upset when the the road gets
rough, esp. in the rear. I am wondering if helper air inserts would help...I did this in my toyota to keep the rear higher when towing and it had the side effect of helping the ride and handling too. These are the firestone things you install inside your coils and pump them up with a hand pump to
suit your ride. Anyone here done this?

I've never heard of this 'helper air insert' before, but you might want to post over in the RDX section instead.
