    Tire size- 93NSX with16/17" wheels,HELP

    My questions are: 1. Does the '93 TCS values differ from the 2002? I'm going to try 215/40-16 + 255/40-17 Bridgestones on my '93. Now the '93 TCS was ok for going 245/40-17 in rear, will it accept the 255/40-17 for rear as well as go 215/40-16 OR 215/45-16 for front? 2. Can i mix RE010...

    Acura Of Newport-avoid This Dealership!

    I will reply privately about my experiences with this place. After having my NSX for 10 years, I've seen many managers, but this one takes the cake!. Actually avoiding looking at car, probably because they don't have competent NSX mechanics. Guess I'm traveling out of Rhode Island for servicing...

    problem with shocks? help

    I've replaced my shocks w/ Bilsteins (stock springs) Now definitely shocks are for NSX but here's my problem..

    Expected heights after Bilstein/stock spring change

    I don't exactly remember the stock height, but my NSX is now 24.5"-front/26"-rear after changing to Bilstein HD shocks w/ stock springs. Is the rear end supposed to be 1.5" heigher with the lower perch settings on all 4 shocks? Was the upper perch not bolted down enough? Is this right...

    another question on changing oem pads/rotors

    I've had my '93 NSX for almost 9 yrs, 58K miles, do about 1-2 (or try )controlled autocross events/yr. Need to get new pads and I would assume rotors,since this is only 2nd set of pads replaced. (please don't laugh..) 1. Why do some people just change front rotors (different brand)?, leaving...

    Question on my old RM Racing sway bar

    I took off my RM sway bar for about 2 yrs (hey, I thought it gave me a hard ride at the time!) but now I'm looking to get it on my NSX again. I heard someone say that they're "adjustable". My Neuspeed sway bar on my S4Avant has 2 different holes on each side for solft/firm setting but the RM...
