Good job. Looks better than 4 x 4, I mean, stock, height. I'm sure with some tweaking of the rear spring rates, this can be done on a Sport Hybrid, too.
I had BC’s on my 14, it rode smoooooth and wasn’t even on the softest settings. Thought about taking the same route on my current one, almost pulled the trigger on Megan’s but couldn’t find any reviews for an RLX to compare to BC, or was it really worth saving $300 going with Megan.

I would love to improve the ride of my 18 RLX hybrid to the sporty side. I'm used to the ride with Aspec suspensions, Progress RSB, Eibach lowering springs, magnetic/electronic dampers on my previous Acuras.
I pinged Rez a couple of weeks ago, I have a 2014 RLX PAWS that I just put the BC Coilovers on. Holy crap is it smooth. And, like Rez, I only have them dialed to 19 out of 30 clicks (30 being softest setting). The key is to get a 4 wheel alignment after putting the struts in. Otherwise it drives and feels like dogpoo.
New member and new owner of a 2014 RLX PAWS. One owner car and only had 62k miles. So far its been a nice car to drive except the clunking, rattle from the suspension. I took it to Acura and they said the owner did not get the TSB replaced under warranty. The quote to replace the part is over $1200 each plus labor which takes it to $2500 for the front. Another $1500 for the rear struts to be replaced since they are doing it anyway.
My questions are, do you hear any rattle, clunk after you replaced the stock dampers with the BC coilovers? I just want to replicate the original OEM settings and have the car ride as close to new as possible. I believe you guys have said getting a 12 front, 7 rear spring rate, and 19 out of 30 on the strut settings does just that. With the benefit of a better handling suspension.
I really want to avoid clunking, rattles, if you can please confirm that the BC coilovers do not do that, I'm in!

Appreciate any feedback!
Hi,
I too have bought a 2014 RLX PAWS with FWD. Have same issues with suspension as mentioned in your post, additional to being worsened by Alberta (Canada) weather of minus 30C. Please advise if you find a cure for this issue.
Thanks in advance for your help on the matter.
Regards.

Does the ride quality/structure of the vehicle change? It's tough suspension was built for this car probably because of the rear tow in features. Does softer shocks effect the car in anyway other than a smoother ride ?
Honestly, the softer ride wouldn't change much as the later years had a softer suspension anyways. The handling might not be as good technically, but it'd be a little hard to notice a difference if its set up properly. The ride height changing is the main concern. I already scrape at stock height.
