Any issues noted to date with installing the Eibach springs with the active dampers on the A-Spec Advanced? Does all the adjustability still function on lowering springs?

No issues so far! And from what I can tell, adjustability still functions.

I would not have swapped out the wheels from the 2020 to the 2022. One of the improvements Acura implemented on the 2022 RDX is enhanced sound dampening measures. The 2022 RDX A-Spec advance 20s come with resonators installed to further reduce road noise. You’ll definitely notice more road noise that the ANC cannot address.

No. The design was not it for me. But thank you for your input though.

Looks great! Excellent choice dumping those hideous 2022 wheels. What are you using to cover the amber reflector? I saw a smoke/tint vinyl, but yours looks straight black.

Thanks! Yeah, the dealership tried everything they could to convince me not to swap wheels. But I said if I can't, no sale so they caved. lol.

As for the amber reflectors, I bought these.

Welcome! I don't blame you, My biggest gripe with the new design is Acuras wheel choice. It's hideous. Thanks for the link. Those are the exact ones I was talking about that I saw in smoke. They look straight black in your pics tho. I like it.
