I'm fully committed on my nsx project now. I have a '91, and am installing sos supercharger, jdm short gears, type r final drive, sos 350 sport clutch (a little on the fence on this, as my friend's chatters.... Might leave my 35k mile stock clutch in and see how it does....), headers, new style abs kit, etc.
I think my shocks are original. The car feels a little floaty, but I don't see any signs of shock leakage. I split my daily driving with a GT3 and the nsx mostly, and enjoy a GT3 level of stiffness, compliance, and ride quality. I'm thinking of doing the suspension while I have the car all apart. I also have the sos sway bars, and have been advised to use their front and keep the stock rear.
What are current thoughts on suspension choices? From reading the bilsteins give a slightly more athletic ride than stock, and the kw's would be the most gt3 like, and be a better match for the sos sways. I've read that they can be creaky and noisy, and will take a lot of time to dial them in with settings, rake, and ride height. I am decent at setting up compression/rebound settings, but no expert. Type S I've read can be a little harsh....
I don't plan to track the car, I just like a more athletic suspension; not a harsh track car suspension. I want something fun for spirited back roads driving. I club race a gt3 cup car 4-6 races a year.
What do you all think? Thanks!
