They make NSXanax for that. :mrgreen:

the T models have slightly different valving and spring rates than the coupes etc etc. so they have different OEM part numbers numbers, and if you were replacing a single 97 rear shock, putting a 1991 rear shock in it would not be good since it would be different tuning than the other side.. however

The PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS ARE IDENTICAL.

How do you think Bilstein/Koni/TEIN/HKS/etc can make one shock that fits all years 1991-2005 if they are not allll the same?

I think I'll have one of those NSXanax's now..........
