Hello,
I have a 98 NSX-T that I got recently. To the best of my knowledge the car is completely original other than the suspension. The previous owner put Tein Flex Z shock absorbers on (see pictures). It was pretty clear that this suspension lower the car. According to the NSX service manual the original ride height is supposed to be:
Measuring my current setup ride height:
I did my best to measure but it was pretty tight in the front. I am on OEM wheels and OEM tire sizes.
Although this stance does look good to me, it is entirely too low. I intend to drive my NSX frequently, and being this low makes getting in and out of driveways questionable at best, and speed bumps may as well be road blocks. I know these Flex Z's are height adjustable, but I think I have them close to their maximum setting.
I have no intention of tracking the car, except maybe once or twice just for the fun of it. If I ever decide to do that in any serious manner, I would get the appropriate suspension at that time.
How hard/expensive will it be to go back to OEM shocks and springs?
What other parts will I need? Anything obvious from the pictures?
Thanks for any help or insight!

- 170-180mm front (measured from center of lower control arm bolt)
- 213-223mm rear (measured from center of the toe control arm bolt)
