12mm higher one side

[John Bugh]

My newly aquired 95 model sits 12mm higher on the passenger side, is this a factory setting to counter the camber of the road?

I doubt it! I have NEVER seen a car that is equal on all 4 corners thats what coilovers and cornerweighting is for!

Seriously I really doubt the car is set up for a crown though

Well could be many things but first place to start is are your measurements acurate,ie. level ground.If so then make sure that nothing is saging down that you are using to measure ie fender liner.Once that is done now move to the springs and shocks,are they stock,and if not then are they matched front to rear and on the proper perch.If coil-over then you need to have it corner balanced and adjusted.12mm is about a half inch so this is significant in my book.If the susp pieces check out then you may have alignment out of wack,so have car aligned.After all that if it is still off,then I,m sure some of our tech gurus(of which i am not )might help further.Good luck! Also It may sound silly but check that you have similar size and diameter tires suitable for an nsx as per the faqs.

No, the NSX should not have that much difference from one side to another. Mine has zero difference. I measure mine on my flat, level garage floor, measuring from the floor to the jacking lift points.

docjohn mentioned several possible causes of differences. Also, tire wear can account for a difference of 1/4 inch (between a new tire and one that is worn down to the treadwear indicator bars).

Ken you forgot equal tire pressures too! and with equal size tires on both sides.

Good point.

and with equal size tires on both sides.

docjohn mentioned that.
