so for the past few months me and my brother were looking into options on getting some "low" on the MDX...we were thinking coils but wanted a good ride and a subtle drop....nothing crazy (cause it's also a baby hauler) so we heard a lot of "rumor's" on the net and various forums about using Honda Odessy springs on the MDX but could not find any substantial evidence proving it so we just took the plunge and went with it...and here is the results! i hope you enjoy!!!
first off here is the back spring...
it's stupid simple you have three nuts/bolts to remove.
the shock, the rear sway bar end link and the bottom "fork" for lack of a better term...and there ya go

rear spring installed!!!

rear is done...on to the front....sitting weird now lol....
(this is before we get front done)
![]()
repeat for other side....now on to the front!
first off the top hats are located under the windshield cowl....three simple plastic pins and it comes out...
![]()
here is the stock front shock/spring....you will have a 10mm bolt holding on the brake line to the shock...take that off, then you have a 12mm bolt holding another sensor on the shock...remove that as well...then you will need a 17mm or 19mm....can't remember which for the two big bolts that holds the bottom of the shock onto the hub...remove those two big bolts and disconnect the accessory lines and then just remove the three nuts on the top side to drop out the shock/spring...

and it's out!!!

let me know what you guys think!!!!
o and i forgot to mention....my bro bought the H&R Sport Springs for a 2007 Honda Odessey....because he has an 07' MDX...the advertised drop was 1.3" but i thinks it's more like 1.5"
thanks for reading guys!
