NA1 vs. NA2 NSX-R Spring Rates

[ScienceofSpeed]

Here are some calculations (correct me if I am wrong) in rounded SAE units. Sorry, no mount point data for the anti-roll bars.

standard NA1 NSX
F: 170 lb/in - anti-roll bar 18.3 mm
R: 220 lb/in - 19.1 mm


standard 2002 NSX
F: 303 lb/in - 18 mm
R: 347 lb/in - 17.5 mm

NA1 NSX-R
F: 447 lb/in - 18.3 mm
R: 319 lb/in - 19.1 mm

NA2 NSX-R
F: 581 lb/in (102.0 N/mm) - 22.2 mm
R: 463 lb/in (81.4 N/mm) - 17.5 mm

for comparison, the TEIN is equiped with:
F: 560 lb/in
R: 672 lb/in

current setup on whitey:
F: 560 lb/in - 22.2 mm
R: 560 lb/in - 22.2 mm

[maomaonsx]

some errors in your numbers, here are the corrections:

NA1 NSX rear sway bar diameter: 17mm

NA1 NSX-R front sway bar diameter 21mm

and I should add a bit more:

NSX type-S (Zanardi): (spring rate in kg/mm)
6.5kg/mm 18.3mm
5.0kg/mm 19.1mm
