Na1 vs Na2 suspension shock kit

[imducati]

Does anyone know the difference between the two Shock absorber kits:

91-1996 part numbers: 06521-SL0-950 (rear) and 06511-SL0-950 (front)

95-2005. Part numbers: 06521-SLO-601 (rear) and 06511-SLO-601 (front)

And can I install the Na2 into the Na1?

thanks

There is no "NA1" or "NA2" suspension. The suspension setup is different for 1997-2005 from the earlier years, but those later years include cars with the NA1 engine as well as the NA2 engine.

Is your question whether you can install 1997-2005 NSX shocks into a 1991-1996 NSX?

thanks for the correction - yes can I install the the 1997-2005 NSX shocks kit and springs on a 1991?

Those PNs are the dampers and basically its coupe vs targa. Short answer is yes the NA2 dampers/shocks will fit on a NA1 but there are differences: the coupe's compression and rebound damping is about 10% greater than on Targa cars. Spring rates are a little firmer in the front and softer in the rear on targa cars 95-01. All targa dampers are the same, all standard coupe dampers are the same.

Post 2002 the spring rates front and rear are increased by about 10% and the rear sway got bigger, the difference in ride and handling are noticeably different.

The NSX Wiki says this about the NSX Targas

The NSX-T also has different suspension rates than the coupe. At low rates of wheel travel, T front rebound and compression rates are 7% softer. At higher rates, T rebound is 21% softer, compression is 32% softer. At high rates, T rebound is 15% softer, compression is 21% softer. Rear suspension varies similarly, while the T's (hollow) anti-roll bars are smaller and have less wall thickness

People have mixed Targa and coupe suspension pieces and have had various results. Most of the time those mixing suspensions on coupes & Ts end up with a ride height difference than prior (I think if you put a Targa suspension in the coupe, the car sits higher.. or maybe its the other way around).
