Love the wheels and front spoiler but about 3" too low. An RDX riding at sedan ride heights would look great though - I've seen Q5s riding at sedan heights and they look fantastic.

Yes, very drivable ... on a racetrack. Why would you want to drive an RDX on a race track? Well, you probably wouldn't.

I mean, if I was going to mod my RDX, it would be within the parameters of it still fulfiling it's intended purpose - a comfortable people-and-things carrier that's also fun to drive. You could do a LOT to improve the look and performance without sacrificing much.

But this guy didn't see that line. He's dressing it up like a track car, less than an inch off the ground, probably because he thinks it looks cool, but every time he has to take a speed bump at an awkward angle, stopping traffic behind him and scraping his undercarriage despite his best efforts, no one glaring at him thinks it's cool at all.

I doubt you drive this car off a driveway, over the sidewalk ramp onto a road without getting hung up and cracking off body work.

You guys realize that the RDX is sitting at it's lowest position (just really for being parked or maybe ultra-smooth roads) and that it can be raised into driving position via air bags, right?

Being an old retiree, I didn’t realize that. I did not know they had air suspensions. I thought they didn’t have any suspensions.

What? Why would anyone need the RDX to be raised? Please explain further. I THINK you are saying air bags can be added to increase the road clearance....but why?

Are you sure it's not a Type-S? I see a Type-S badge on the front bumper.

Not sure if you are serious or just joking around. But if you are serious, I would say that an RDX sitting like that is fore sure on airbags that are fully deflated. It's just a "cool" look that some people like. It's not really for driving like that. By adding air into the bags, the vehicle can be variably raised into a driving position where the suspension will actually work.

My Jeep actually comes with air suspension from the factory. It has several different modes. The normal ride height is what looks "normal" for the Jeep, but it also has aero mode, which lowers the ride height slightly at highway speeds. It also have a park setting that lowers the vehicle fully to make it easier to get in/our or load cargo. And of course it has offroad modes that raise the suspension much higher for offroad ground clearance. Air suspension has it's advantages....

Well, I WAS being serious, perhaps I misunderstood the reference, as I didn't realize the comments, and my reply referenced the RDX picture that was so low, it looked like the body was sitting on the ground.

LOL My point was why would anyone need raise a stock RDX? A Jeep? Sure. How many RDX owners use their vehicle to do any serious off-roading where a raised suspension would do any good?

Did I redeem myself ?
