anyone lowered RDX?
#2
Congratulations and welcome to the club. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone lowering the RDX here. This is not a sports sedan. Most of us love the RDX for its slightly elevated seating position and lowering the car would negate that advantage. But you are welcome to plow your own path and enlighten the rest of us folks here. Good luck.

And a "crossover" is basically just a lifted station wagon...
And station wagons are the best body style of any vehicle*...
And HondAcura doesn't offer a wagon after killing off the TSX...
...so by lowering the RDX, one would theoretically be getting as close to perfection as one compromised vehicle can be.
Your mileage may vary.

Some vehicles have a horrendous wheel to fender gap that makes them very aesthetically unpleasing, including some crossovers. In that case I am ok with a MILD drop (think 0.5"-1" max) for aesthetic reasons and it also improves handling in some cases. This is why I love air suspension because you can lower and raise as you like. I personally don't consider the 2G RDX to be one of those vehicles though and would not drop it. I also strongly dislike cars where they are dropped to the point where wheels are tucked under the fender, I can appreciate people expressing themselves though and to each their own, I just won't ever do that myself.

Then again, what do all those suspension engineers at Honda know?
Kinda like the guys who lift trucks...a great way to ruin a perfectly good vehicle.
Speaking of SUVs, there used to be a guy around here who low-ridered a full sized Chevy Suburban...quite a sight.
But as the guy said...to each his own.

I saw a lowered ford truck and it looked like an outdated old junk.

Well, technically, the RDX is a "crossover" and not a full SUV...

Not recognizing or denying is all a part of it, so dont feel bad.....
lets recap and summarize to make it a little easier for you to keep up...
"Anyone here lowered their RDX, Im new here"
"Welcome to the forum, I dont like your question/idea, and I dont think others like it either, here is why, but good luck"

This post went south quick. As someone who modifies cars I can understand wanting to lower the RDX to a point. Not coilovers low, but springs low.

I see where you're coming from, but I didn't mean any disrespect to the OP or others who lower their cars. Looking at the other replies in this thread, I don't think my reply was absurd, may be you should look into yourself for creating an unnecessary diversion for OP's thread.

I don't get why anyone would want to lower an RDX. I would think there are very few people under the age of 30 owning one. My Son who is 27, lowered his 08 Mazda 3 to an unsafe level, to the point when he made turns the front tires would scrape on the wheel wells. When I told him it was unsafe and furthermore stupid, he disagreed with me. He could not even go over some train tracks for crying out loud. Then he recently got a 2013 Outback and on his facebook page, many of his DA friend's wanted to know when he was going to lower it. Fortunately he has a girlfriend and a new baby so I don't think his GF is going to allow it. Finally some maturity, but I know he would still like to lower it.
Of course I am a crusty 54 year old who never saw any need to modify a car.
I just don't get it.
