Hey everyone,

New to the site. My wife has a 2013 RDX and was wondering about suspension upgrades - not so much lowering the ride but simply a better performing shock to handle bumps.

Any suggestions?

KYB for the back,,good upgrade as for the front, OEM is about all that's available.

Have installed the KYB's on the back of my ride over the 4th holiday. Well worth the money, makes the vehicle handle and ride better than OEM.

^interesting,Poolman!
i would think the KYB's were OEM equivalents

I tried searching for Koni performance shocks, but unfortunately Koni doesnt make a performance shock for the 2013 RDX

I know you said you didnt want to lower, but I searched for BC coilovers anyway...Unfortunately, they do not make a coilover for the 2013 RDX...
This would be the best option IF it were available...You wouldnt have to lower it, but have the benefits of a better performing shock

Hey Justnspace,,the rear KYB shocks are much stiffer than the OEM parts that came on the car. I have nearly 60k miles on the car and the original shocks were replaced under warrentie at 30k miles. There's a difference in the stability and body roll,,My 2 cents.
