Can you take a few with the level set slightly lower than stock? I'm not into the "slammed" parking look, but I do like the idea of the car being slightly lower and more aggressive looking from the stock level.

E-Level...nice!

Any video of the car starting up and lifting itself up on the bags?

Which airbags are you using?

With so much camber on the rear suspension, watch out for excessive wear on the inside portion of the rear tires.

no camber when I'm driving, that's only dumped /parked


next additions will be Exhaust/ Custom Pipes and OEM RLX wing

When dropped does the rear tires impede with the wheel wells? Drop at ride ht. looks good.

The drop at driving height looks just right. Acura really needs to do a better job of positioning their ride heights to minimize the wheel gap. It does wonders for the look of the car.

Was that rise up from full down to driving height in real time or was that sped up in the video? Seemed a bit abrupt.

it goes up at that speed, it was just timed and edited to go along with the music

it does not touch the fenders or wheel well, when dumpped it touched the lining of the wheel well , just barely 1/8" into it

Thanks for the video, it's very helpful for those of us who want to see a lowered RLX.

Ride height in that video is JUST right. Nice job! The wheels look decent, too. Can't wait for a sound clip of the new exhaust when you get it done.

Yes! that ride height is perfect. Helps balance out how wide the body is.

Would love to see more ride height shots/video without all the blurring though, everytime I was hoping to get a nice wider FOV of the ride height you guys had to get all tricky with the blur. let us see it dammit!

Seeing this type of stuff makes me want to believe that over time, the RLX is going to become a hit/sleeper for those willing to take the extra $$ hike past the TLX.

For all my gripes with my RLX, I still f'n love the car and you still cannot surpass it's interior with any other vehicle in it's class, and IMHO, higher class vehicles as well. Not to mention how much I love the body design, despite it's challenges in being photogenic.

If Acura uses that video in a TV commercial they'll empty their inventory in a day!

Hey SLAMMEDRLX, I'm going to change your thread title slightly, since no one here is hating on your well-done RLX.

Ride height is too high. Looks good though. I'd like to see ride height eliminate all gap and tuck the tread.
