Camber

[Thom]

I hear a lot about lowering the NSX but low interest in camber adjustment and the kit required. Comtech has a camber kit that can adjust the desired camber, but it is designed for race applications. How much camber is changed when lowering a stock 1991 NSX 1.2"-1.5"? Does anyone have the Honda's figures on the arc and travel of the suspension to validate the argument? I will be lowering my NSX, but I want to maintain stock camber or near zero camber, can this be managed with the kit?

The Comptech kit is front suspension only, and is really designed to increase camber, but could be installed backwards if needed (not really).

There is nothing for the rear. Do a search throughout the site to see what springs have the least affect (eibach) to greatest (h&r) IIRC.

Just looked under the car for the first time since buying the car a week ago. There is camber adjustment for both front and rear. The question now is how much can be adjusted in with these adjustments for how much lowering?

I believe even in OEM form the NSX has negative camber. Once you lower yours it will only get worse! My last alignment I was -3.5 and -3.6 in the rear and that was all the way in. Going lower is great on rear tires too! :biggrin:

I've got my NSX dropped around 3/4 of an inch in the back, and the best my alignment shop could do was -1.8 degrees of camber. From folks I have talked with, I should be happy with this little negative camber, but I would much rather be able to get back into spec, preferably on the lower range (near -1.2, if memory serves).

I believe that all aftermarket springs kits do a greater than 3/4" drop rear.
