it's an 09. the R-3 just feels more planted than my 05. the only suspension work i had done to it was racing beat sways and endlinks, it handled great, but this new one is like a matchbox car. the Bilsteins, 19's, and new strut braces make everything stiff.

wow, that is one sweet looking machine. The black looks incredible. I tend to stay away from the darker colors because they show dirt and scratches, but then when I got my RX, it is in the garage, safe from the elements, show I could have had white, it really wouldn't have mattered! Anyways, could you give us a few more comments on the differences of how your machines feels and performs compared to the original? I've read extensively about the stiffness of the R3, is it TOO stiff for everyday driving? I just love the feel of my 2008, it has the ability to rock and roll when called upon, but it never feels too stiff. cheers.
