Suspension Decision

[SuncoastNSX]

I am considering suspension upgrades and wanted some feedback.

First of all, I love the driveability of the NSX as is, but would like to lower it. Initially I considered coilovers (Tein-RA's), but have heard they can be a bit firm. Now i'm thinking of Eibach-Bilstein_Swaybars from Daliracing.

This car will have 17's and 18's with the suspension install.

Any feedback is appreciated.

That sounds like a lot of changes given that you love the driveability as is, but want to lower the car.

I suggest the Zanardi suspension. It will lower the car, give it a firmer ride, and is designed and built by Honda for the NSX.
Dali Racing has it.

SunCoast:
I personally like the way the OEM suspension feels and have no need to make it more firm, especially since I just use the NSX on the street. But, I would prefer to lower it and decrease the wheel-well gap without sacrificing the OEM alignment settings and too much driveway scraping. So, my solution is go with the Bilstein shocks on the lower perch setting that will drop the car almost .75 inch and retain the OEM alignments.

I think the shocks run around 5 Benajamins, but since mine have 70k miles, I think the shocks need replacing- so wgy not knock 2 birds with one stone!

Good luck!

For me I dont think .75 is going to lower the car enough. I love the way the car handles, but I have at least a 3 inch gap, IMO very ugly. This really sucks cause I dont want too lower it and risk hitting coming up the driveway. Oh well only time will tell.
