Actually, ironically, if I lower the RDX, it'll upset my mother in law. She absolutely loves the RDX, thinks its the perfect height for getting in and out of easily, loves the headlights, the backup cam, heated seats, all the toys, yes she even likes that it has a turbo and thus torque. She wants one bad...lol.

bluecarbonfiber

^ i doubt that.. it only lowers the RDX 1.0 up front and 1.3 in the rear

mucter

What springs are these anyways?

Mr Marco

BTW, how does someone with only 70 posts to Oregon Chat get their own tag for the thread???

bluecarbonfiber

get them see what they say =) or actually call them and see if they have them in stock.. no one has them eibach stopped making them over a year ago.. and all supplies are sold out.. most companies just havent updated there websites.

bluecarbonfiber

just did the leg work for ya.. contacted 360 tuner... they dont have it and they got a call about it earlier today i guess and told the person the same thing..

contacted jegs and did the live chat

Bob G1:46:39 PM
Hello, How may I help you?
Brandon S1:46:59 PM
hello i was looking to get these RDX springs for my acura Eibach #369-4071.540
1:47:20 PMi want to make sure you have them in stock since eibach stopped making them a while back
Bob G1:48:18 PM
Actually I afraid we do not have these in stock, I do apologize this number should have been removed from our site.
Brandon S1:48:31 PM
ok thank you!



haha i swear i have the last brand new pair in the world..

bluecarbonfiber

oh and my price went up to 600 now LMAO

mucter

Fine fine fine. I called, they're gone. You're right. blah....lol

Talked to Jegs, who called Eibach directly for me.

clee109

Seems you aren't in a hurry to sell :P

Why sell? Out of the RDX market now?

mucter

Good luck. $600, $500, for springs is.... pass. I don't even like springs at $300. If I'm going to lower a car, I'd rather have properly valved struts to match.

bluecarbonfiber

ya not in a hurry im sure some one will buy it if i do.. been offered over 400 for them but i really didnt want to sell them then

might be out of the market.. we will see..

dont blame ya.. honestly after having the coils on the tsx i kinda miss the old spring setup.. honestly if i went back to spring i would get the adjustable shocks to go with it just to help

clee109

Would agree with Jay, springs without struts sucks. Personal experience here! As for the coils you're on Brandon, they're stiff, the springs are stiff too. So your ride is harsh. Tein CS would be a nice ride on coils, soft like my H-Techs with adjustable struts. Though the Koni/H-Tech combo would prolly be a better ride than the CS and half the cost.

Now that the blues are all settled in, the ride with the H-Techs is compliant. No complaints here. Good budget set up IMO

bluecarbonfiber

ya i know i guess im more of a backroad racer then a track racer.. need that little slack in the corners for those bumps..

honestly ill probably leave them on till i sell the car but if i get super annoyed and have money to burn ill probably go Konis with teins or something

Mr Marco

Wow, I missed out on the bidding action.
I am also worried about those OEM struts. We shall see if anyone develops a coil-over system (I can't even find the RDX coil-over thread now).

bluecarbonfiber

^ if its successful im sure its going to be a year or so out before they do mass production. and im guessing its going to be spendy.. im thinking in the 1300+ range

Mr Marco

...still trying to find the thread. How weird is that? Have you guys looked for it lately?

bluecarbonfiber

i still see it

Happy holidays!

Mr Marco

Very disappointed with ETS so far...

I'm interested to see what, and if, they reply to me.

clee109

ETS are those tuner folks right?

Mr Marco

Primarily Mitsu intercooler manufacture, but they also make Civic headers and plumbing for Audi, Dodge, Mazda, Nissan etc.

Pissed, but not counting them out like the folks at HorsepowerFreaks who NEVER called me back.

bluecarbonfiber

I think it was poor miscommunication on there part most places were closed yesterday.. they probably werent thinking about it and gave you a day to come in to begin with..

clee109

I'd agree, but poor customer service to begin with. Never a good thing to sour a customer on the first impression

Mr Marco

Dropped of the RDX this morning. Got an apology, it was a last minute Friday afternoon discision to not open on Monday. I like the shop, they are small but doing a good amount of business judging from the amount of alluminum cores & CNC tubes that were stacked up. Check out my post with pics:

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...2#post13444832

bluecarbonfiber

so when will the prototype be done?

Mr Marco

Michael said it takes them about a week to spec it out and instal the intercooler.

bluecarbonfiber

thats not bad at all.. so when will you hit the dyno??

any idea on what it might cost once they have a finished product?

Mr Marco

I want to verify that they will pay for the dyno run (X 2) before I say "strap it down." I might pay for 1 run after new TMIC & Hondata, but I'm not paying for a baseline run.

The Speed3 TMIC that ETS stocks (basically the same as what they are building me) is $595.

I'm really looking forward to this set-up. I'm a little burned out on the RDX. Remember, my next car was supposed to be an S2000, instead we bought a TL that I never get to drive. Still pissed about that.

bluecarbonfiber

^ haha i can tell.. happy wife = happy life

dyno runs arent expensive i think i paid 75 for 3 of them but i went on a day they were slow
