This is just awesome. I do the same thing with my toy cars. Most people don't realize how dirty the underside gets and man does it make a difference. Look forward to an update.
ABSOLUTELY INSANE......................LY GOOD WORK!!!!!!! You sir inspire us all to do a major refresh on our much beloved NSXs. On the other end of the scale, I dread just popping off a few panels to replace the Main Relay, but I have to cause my car wont start. But other than that, I'm just happy driving it, and even more happy paying someone else to do all this work, like everything you did above.
I really enjoyed reading this thread. Thanks Mitch! I'll be putting my 91 BB on jack stands this week and cleaning the suspension parts, and for the sake of my marriage hopefully that's where it stops, haha.
Mitch, aren't you afraid that your shocks are going to go bad? All your axle and ball joint boots are not in their normal operating position, if it was my car I would at least remove the wheels so there is less weight pulling down on all those suspension components.

This is true. The wheels pull down on the shock since the shock is the rebound limiter but this isn't an issue and doesn't wear them out. Also, the CV joints and ball joints can wear out if the car is driven with them at a crazy angle (like a ride height 5" taller than it should be) but sitting static its fine.
I am swapping the suspension anyway. I am almost at 200,000 miles and it is time for a re-fresh. My last shock and spring swap was around 100,000 miles ago, so I am guessing it is time.
