stock NSX shocks Vs. Bilstein Vs. Tein

[Gokwi]

after having the bilstein, I noticed a much more stiffer ride, and better turning radius, I can feel every bump I go on..

I couldn't notice the lowering diff cause my stock NSX shocks were already failing

can anyone else pinpoint the differences between all 3

I have not yet to have the Tein's in my car, but would like an opinion from a owner who has them

That's probably because your old shocks were worn and not working properly. You probably would have had the same reaction had you replaced them with new stock shocks.

I am not knocking the Bilsteins; I have them on my own car. In fact, I like them because they perform like the stock shocks do - with great road compliance in turns, and nice ride comfort. I do not notice a stiffer ride in the Bilsteins than the ride was when the shocks were new; in fact, the ride quality is similar. Gokwi, have you owned the car since new?

turn radius improvement?

gokwi,

what do you mean by improved turn radius? bigger/smaller?

i can't tell since my install was accompanied with wheel spacers.
now my turn radius is bigger.

Tein is a different animal altogether. A compete coilover that allows various adjustments, and cost alot more as well.

I don't have teins on my NSX, but I did have them on my old 3000GT. They were extremely stiff, but the handling was top notch. For everyday use I still think the other 2 choices are the best. I, however, prefer bilstein because they also carry a better warranty than the OEM shocks.

I had TEINs on my NSX and as for the hight I had it like 2 inch of the floor it was very stable and it felt much more controllable on every thing turns specially. The only thing is that you feel every little crack on the road but the feeling you get with TEINs is the best I have felt. Once I get another NSX I will put TEINs on it too cause they are worth all the money you pay.

Does anyone know the part #s for the Bilsteins? I want to make sure i'm ordering the right ones, or is there only one to chose? I want to lower my car slighty.

turning radius, meaning easier/sharper turn

i bought my car when is was about to fail

so I can't completly know

There's only one, as noted by sjs here.
