@ReconGhost just posted an updated pic, 5 days after install. nice stance:

2017 Ridgeline Lowering Spring at Burtman Industries, LINK

.

And latest update with new wheels... Settled nicely.

 

[dojob]

God damn.... well done.

Has anyone thought about paint matching the bottom plastic moldings to match the exterior paint color (front,back bumpers,wheelwells,rockers). It almost looks like the truck from the SEMA show was painted?

I think this would look sweet and make the Ridgeline look sleeker/flow better


we need some before and after pictures with some photoshop gurus

Yep SEMA truck had plastics pulled and was painted

Will just the rears level the truck out?

Yea i think the painted plastics looks really slick. Especially on a black RL

It depends on the overall size of the setup. My guess is that it will. Anyone know what offset his wheels are and what size tires he has?

The offset is +33 and they are 9x22, tires are toyo proxes 265/40/22 i have a no rub issues.

Yeah it would look good, but in some colors i saw a white pearl at the dealer coming in for maintenance and it looks awful, like really really weird i hope to see it again so i take a pic.

Here you go...

The Gen 1 (and maybe Gen 2) CR-V had similar plastic trim and Honda would offer painted trim on the higher trim lines as a mid-year refresh. I'll bet you'll see it on RL in a few years.

I think the lowered RL looks better, with the wheel wells filled. (I can't believe I just said that).

Nice job, yea it looks better with them painted imo.

"The Gen 1 (and maybe Gen 2) CR-V had similar plastic trim and Honda would offer painted trim on the higher trim lines as a mid-year refresh. I'll bet you'll see it on RL in a few years."

My thoughts exactly. I bet the mid refresh will be painted too. little touches like that are easy to produce for a nice change in style that doesn't cost alot for honda

I'm surprised it took me so long to come up with this Q:

would OEM G2 RL front springs + OEM G2 Pilot rear springs reduce the rake & level things out ?


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


further, JasonB, any likelyhood of a V2, further-reduced rear height spring ?

my lowered 2001 GMC Sierra is 4" [!] lower than stock G2RL @ the tailgate -
that's a huge difference when an OG solo loads a 500# moto.....

Sounds like something I wouldnt want to even attempt. Just install the rear springs and you should be good to go. Until camber adjustment is available I wouldnt go lower. Mine sits pretty dang level with the front and rear installed.

Correct.

This will be the only set avail, and I know no one wanted to believe me, but it does sit more level after these are installed.

 

[Guido156]

Just ordered the springs. I'm committed now.

Jason, thank you for turning a post into a product so fast at a reasonable price.

 

[Guido156]

This guy lowered it somehow. Has 275/45/20 on it http://getoscoot.com/category/2017-honda-ridgeline/

 

[ReconGhost]

Would assume it is on the same springs, 275/45 with the right offset and width wheel will probably work...might rub.

 

[Guido156]

Considering that guy, and tron having 20x10.5 with 275s on a non lowered G2, I'm considering going for it. I usually over do everything. This will just be consistent for me.

Damn, he's done a lot of cool mods on his G2!

 

[ReconGhost]

Wait until you see my next one..it will be done in a few days.....piece by piece. I am about 75% complete.
