97 NSX - Lowered Finally - 2x4 it's a MUST!

[oscar_driver]

So after i heard like 300 times I lowered the NSX, Thanks to Chris from SOS I got an awesome deal on some TEIN-RA's ... I have no rubbing or anything weird, definatelly the ride is not "smooth" no more. I always thought that my S2k was a bit more stiff than the NSX, now this is stiff LOL .. but I like, now the car looks like a true exotic, it's more smooth on the lines, and it's way lower, although 1.25" all around I do have 16's on the front, therefore I am very low, but low perfect b/c I have no problems @ all with rubbing or scratching the nose, since I had my hands dirty I installed my Shark Antenna, I am very very Happy.

I am almost done with my exterior "mods" ....

I REFUSED to believe that I needed the 4' long 2x4 ... WOW, I ended up on Home depot after 3 hs. trying to remove myself ... arghh ADVISE PLEASE READ WHAT PEOPLE SAY ON PRIME, AND DO IT, don't try to be smart-ass ... just follow the masters

Bringing to HondaTech in Ft. Lauderdale, this guy Dwight has more awards from Acura and knowledge on NSX's than most "specialists" around.

Dwight recommended me to get also a "camber kit" otherwise i will eat my tires .. I will investigate more, also any advice it's welcome

Remember my old tread about my Boss C4S ?

NSX Toys @ my desk FTW!

damn! looks awesome... some spacers would make your wheels a lot better IMO. more aggressive.

 

[spase]

about time:biggrin: looks soooooo much better. I would go with spacers too.
It just doesnt stop.:biggrin:

Thanks man, yeah, I was thinking about that, 25mm's on the back will do it .. my tires on the back are 255's on the stock 17" but I do feel like that will be good, to look a bit more aggressive, although I am scared to lose balance

not a bad start. Lower the rear a bit more and add some spacers. Great work! Front is perfect.

It just doesnt stop.:biggrin:

I KNOW, I was, "well, all I need it's the 02+ Valance Since I am sooo happy with my wheels, but I think i need to make them POP a bit" = Spacers .....

LOL ,,,,, then it's always something ..... hopefully not ... since I gave up on the WW side skirts ...

^ Meant to say the rear can be lowered a bit more.

 

[yoojeankim]

also i love ur color scheme. ever thought of the cf vents or painting the vents black?

You should PM Nick "fastrunner". He's running spacers all around with the same wheels. He should have some good pics. It totally changes the stance.

 

[ragecorps]

lookin good! *thumbs up*

Your front brake discs looks a little bit strange to me.

looks great....cept for the "HONDA" plate on the back:redface: The "H" badge is all you need...

They look weird?

maybe it's because they have this "chrome" cover on the outside the brake pads? and they reflect? ..

The original owner lived in Key Largo, the first time I removed the wheels on the front, THEY WERE GLUED for some reason (I have never seen that before) ... hummm

is the first pic (the one with the measuring tape) lowered already? about 1.5 inch wheel gap?

I was planning to get mine lowered. Right now, I have a 4 finger wheel gap..2.5 inches =(

Yes, that was B4 I lowered, but, I have the 16's on front ... 225/45 .... check your specs?

Also, maybe I have around 2 inches if you double check the pic .... all I know is that IT WAS 25.5 from the floor to the PLASTIC fender protector .. that is what i used as reference .. Good luck man!

Looks great Oscar, keep up the great modding:wink:

Very sexy indeed!:smile:

I actually thought about that, but I think the black it's just too much, I gave up on that one, but thanks for the suggestion!

I saw his pictures, yeah, I thing 25MM are next, still I will SEARCH and see if it's worth, i honestly don't want to compromise the integrity b/c of looks
Thanks!

lookin good! *thumbs up*

Thanks MATE!

Yeah, That one I think I had it from my 88 Prelude, i though it was an overkill, still confused, in the same time, I like to have something there, I wish I had a "supercharged" badge in there haahha

Looks great Oscar, keep up the great modding:wink:

Thanks, although any parts I add I might get to sleep in the sofa LOL

Very sexy indeed!:smile:

NSX's are SEXY they just need some "make up"

looks GREAT Oscar, coming along VERY nicely!! I also agree, that the spacers will look good as well. Did you also spray the front markers red with spray tint? They seem to look red and fit in very well!! If not, you could consider it! I bought some on ebay a while back from japan that worked extremely well.

 

[Oyagi]

Looking Definitely lose the Honda badge!

 

[goldNSX]

They look weird?

No offense but your brake discs looks like the pads are only using 2/3 of the surface of the brake disc. That's why the rust on the brake disc looks weird to me.

I would agree.Oscar if after a good couple of brake aplications you still have that untouched disc along the inner most disc I would check the pads for abnormal wear and seating, and check the calipers for binding.

You don't need a 4' long 2x4.... the DIY install on my website shows you how to do it with basic tools:

You're boy Dwight may have more awards from Acura and knowledge on NSX's than most "specialists" around, but he certainly needs to learn more about tire wear

Toe kills tires, not camber.

Car looks great!

Edit: You have uneven pad wear on your brakes.
