Specifically the Tein RE/RA and the Zeal B6 coilovers. Are either of these coilover set-ups bearable for daily street use in the NSX? I understand the RE/RA's can be had with 8/10kg springs front and rear. That seems like it would be comfortable. Anyone have experience with these set-ups? I wouldn't want to be destined for the chiropractor every 3 months to get my back re-aligned.
 
I can tell you that the ride is considerably rougher in TEIN Type-RA 10kg/10kg. I'm also using racing seats, so the vibration and jeering feel might be even greater than OE seats. On many parts of 101HW here in the Silicon Valley causes my OE CD changer to skip.
 
I have the TEIN set-up in my MYNSX and factory seats (custom leather though).
For daily driving for me I like it A LOT.

I have it set fully soft.
The car has NO body roll this feels awesome.

It depends on the shape of the roads you drive. I have the Tein RA set up and love the ride/handling but lots of ongoing road work very near where I live have caused me moments of grief. It depends a lot on your tolerance level. If the roads are in bad shaped the ride can get a little punishing,
but on the highway, track and smooth roads, it is well worth it.
