Hey guys, just finished this weekend, putting on my Tein RE suspension and Polished 97-01 Wheels and Carbon fiber front Hood..

Took me 4 hours to finish the Suspension with using a pry bar "from hell", to get the rears out.

Planning to do some stuff later next week, take care !

Autbody and KKT thanks!, The ride is prettty nice and is set at 8 all around right now, their is about a 1" gap front and rear between the tires and the fender. 8 is a bit stiff, some maybe later i'm going to adjust to 5 or 6 just to keep not feel like so much as a "board" on the road. Other than that, I went on bumps that my car would flat with the stock suspension, but this car is glued to the ground, it doesn't float at all, DEFINETLY a recommendation !

looks nice! what's the drop? about 1.5"?
 
Jimk, thanks !

The drop i'd say is abou 1.5-2", before the tire wheel gap was about 4 fingers from the top of the wheel to the fender, not its 1 finger, so yeah. about 1.5" drop all the way around, the car handles alot better, Thanks guys!

Looks great, I love the way it sits. Let us know how the ride is after you readjust the settings.
 
hey guys, thanks for the kind words. I will be readjusting it tommorrow havent had time yet, Going tommorrow at 7am for my alignment, take care !

spartan, I added 10mm spacers front and rear, should I use 25mm spacers to make them flush mounted? I read in the FAQ that all you need is a 10mm spacer to clear the calipers.I Hmm maybe I'll try a 25mm spacer seems kinda of big though, I guess thats why they came with extended wheel studs thanks!

Hi Chris,

The 25mm makes it near perfect flushed to the fenders. My friend lowered his 98 with H&R's (1.5" drop) and it looks really funny without adapters, the wheels were tucked in too deeply. Now he has 25mm, looks a lot better (IMO). I have 25mm on mines.
Some people has 35mm on the rears :eek:

I just looked at your pictures again, you will love the 25mm..

enjoy

Do the wheels camber in when you lower it down? I'm going to install mine as soon as I have the money to do it. I have my Tein RE arrive already.
 
Spartan, thats for the inside tip will try today since i have spare spacers at my shop, did you use 25mm front and rear ?


Jin, I dont have really have any problems with camber front or rear. I don't have a machine or ruler, but the front seem to me they are perfectly straight up and down. The rear is a diffferent story it looks like its cambering I belive -1 or -2 tucked in. Its not bad at all. I'm pretty sure if I raised back the car just a little bit this could be corrected take care !

Just do the 25mm spacers in the rear. IMHO 10-15mm is ideal for the front without getting into clearance issues.

Be careful with true adapters (having their own lugs) if you track. I will be posting something about this later tonight. They just need extra special care.
 
Black NSX's look so sweet but I would never own one. Just to hard to take care of and the white pits from rocks would drive me bonkers...
