My RLX lowered+ Vossen CV7s + Pictures
So finally made some time to share my progress with my RLX. After looking around and waiting for months I got my hands on some Bc Racing coil overs. My biggest complaint about the RLX used to be the clunky stock suspension & I can say the car feels way better with Bc racings system. For comparison I would compare the feel similar to the TLX now. I had some Vossen CV7s laying around so I decided to try them on. Let me know what you guys think. BTW these pictures are from an iPhone 6 and not the best quality I will take some better pictures soon.

Ride height is a little low for my taste but the wheels look awesome.

I have coilovers on my current ride, not lowered as much. It took a while for me to get used to them, as on more significant imperfections in the road they really punish you, but now I love the level ride through the corners, and the improvement in cornering. I could not have the coilovers if I lived in the north where the freeze/thaw cycle of winter would make the ride unbearable all the time.
However, I do go thru tires, faster, as I take corners so much more aggressively. I did learn that I am happiest with all season tires on the car, because the summer tires I had on before was just too harsh a ride for me. Now I think the ride is better than most stock suspensions offer. But that may be a self fulfilling belief. My coilovers (like your Bc's) are adjustable, and I spent a good 6 months playing with the settings to get them where I was satisfied with them. Since I don't ever track my vehicle, I have played with the settings very little after the initial adjustment, and now I usually migrate back to my baseline every time I decide to play with them, some.

Nice. What are the specs on your wheels & tires ? I am looking at getting a set of BC coil overs with the swift spring upgrade for my 2015 RLX as well and then some new wheels and tires.
