NSX T suspension

[Senninha]

Hi UncleBob,

I have a 98 NSX-T. After a few years of ownership I wanted to sharpen up the handling a little. Following discussion with a couple of tuning places and our very own Kaz, I opted for the NSX-R front chassis bars and anti-roll bar, and for the rear I swapped out the anti-roll bar for the Type-S version. The result was a sharper, more responsive front end but without over stiffening the rear I retained good balance and traction. I had also swapped to Yokohama tyres.

Circa maybe 5 years ago and with the NSX having passed its 20th birthday, as a preventative action I opted to replace the shocks. Having run with Bilsteins on several previous cars, and not being a fan of the Tein products (they rust far too quickly for my liking), I replaced the OEM with Bilsteins, retained OEM springs and installed new top hats. There are two ride height options and I opted for the lower which now gives my NSX-T a nice stance with the OEM 17” alloys filling the arches nicely but with no rubbing or rebound issues.

The combination of updated shocks, anti-roll bars and the stiffening braces really work for me. Hope this helps, rgds Paul

Thanks very much for that Senninha, yes Papa also suggested that so i will definitely get those two bars, Im also considering the type r front brace and lower front brace as suggested by some of our cousins over the pond.

Has anyone in the uk also done this mod?

Yep, these are the chassis bars I refer to above

I have the upper & lower 'R' braces, front 'R' roll bar, rear 'S' roll bar and front strut brace. They certainly firm up the front end! The KWV3 coil overs complete my setup, which I'm happy with.

I had the full Type S suspension setup before, which was excellent out of the box but I thought a little harsh for the UK roads. The KWV3's are adjustable and give me a softer ride, with the added ability to refine the ride height. Cosmetically, theType S suspension does look a little high for my taste.

Thanks for all the advice, it does help with making decisions. I suppose amayama is the place to buy these items unless anyone can recommend any other place?
