Default Lowering springs for the MDX. Where to get em'?

I have never seen a lowered MDX BUT i think my MDX needs lowering. Where could I get springs that would work?
Here is the MD as it sits.


Need to reduce wheel gap.

Have you tried places like showstoppersusa.com yet? Or eBay, but look for a reputible brand.

I tried Ebay originally. I just tried your link but they don't seem to make the springs specifically for the MDX. I am wondering if there is another application that I could use to fit the MDX. I know a lot of the other Honda parts are swappable but I would have no idea which springs would be the same.

Have you tried to google it to see if it pulls any sites selling these parts. It may take a few tries, but you may find what you need.

You are right, there are alot of swappable parts, but I wouldn't know which ones fit your model. There are other suspension forums on the site. Maybe going to a that would be more of a help.

Hey, also try asking of the sponsors in the suspension market place. They may know what you could use.

i just posted this in the other thread, but you can successfully use h&r odyssey springs on the mdx. it doesn't lower it much but it does look better. search mdx.org

I can't go to MDX.org from my firewall but I think I will try the spring compressors first and see how it goes, that way if I don't like them for some reason I am not out of a lot of money and I can change it back.
Thanks anyways
