Non-Compliance Rear Beam / Toe Links

[Yellow Rose]

For those that have Comptech's beam and links on your NSX, please offer some feedback. Specifically, what is the difference at the track vs is there any tradeoff for street driving? Anything to be especially aware of during installation, such as lubrication to prevent bushing squeaks?

I think the removal of the standard rubber components allows a truer more linnear feel to what the backend is doing.Before this mod I could feel the car take a set and twitch again as forces increased, it is this second twitch which is gone and I dont miss it.I cant tell you on the street at 5/10 because so much else was done to the car at the same time but I suspect it would be imperceptable on the street.I think its a nessesary mod if you do a lot of track events and have stiffened the springs and use wider stiffer sidewall trac tires.imo

Check the FAQ you slacker!

The non-compliance bushings are one of my top favorite mods. As DJ mentions, it makes judging car's handling dynamics much easier, especially under heavy cornering loads and uneven surfaces. I have not noticed any driveability degredation.

There's a good write up in the FAQ.

I'm very interested in this mod, especially after my first track day in an NSX at Thunderhill (7/26). I felt a vague (though very high) handling limit. It felt sure-footed for the most part, but while making minute corrections near the handling limit, I'd feel a vague settling in the car, like it hadn't quite "taken a set" yet. I'd really welcome more predictability when near the limit when there's a definite risk of spinning. Eventually I did spin it, but my spin was more due to forgetting turn 2 is decreasing-radius.

Anyway, question about the non-compliance parts...why are expensive toe links and a new rear beam required, i.e., why can't we achieve the same results with just aluminum bushings that replace the stock ones?
