Shocks & Springs....

[TTG 73]

Sorry to ask this guys... I'm really lousey at searching the forums.

I would like to lower my 2001 T. I'd like to drop the fronts about 1.5" and the rears about 1.0".

From what I've been able to find so far - it seems the easist way to do this (if I don't want to go w/ adjustables) would be to go with the Bilstein shocks and Dali springs - right?

Now - and I'm really ashamed to admit this - I have a setup pad that I could do my own setup and corner weights with. I'd be a really trick to get the pad setup for the NSX and getting the NSX onto it - but it could be done. The reason I bring this up is this:

If I go with a non-adjustable deal (or even in stock configuration) should I be concerned about corner weights with non-stock wheels & tires?

As always - thanks for the advice.

First thing is that if you do not have an adjustable suspension why would you put it on scales??. You can't change the corner balance, so I would not bother.

You are planning to drop the car too much IMO. 3/4-1" is best for keeping the suspension remotely close to proper alignment and offers good compliance overall. You can get just lowering springs (Eibach, Dali, Comptech, Tein, etc.) or you can keep your stock springs, and use the Bilsteins on the lower perch will give you a 3/4"-7/8" drop.

HTH,

Thanks a million, Larry. (sorry it took so long to get back here)

Any idea where I can get the correct Bilstein's?

Thanks a million.
