Alignment specs on lowered NSX, what do you guys have?

[EuroBoutique]

We all know a raised 4x4 NSX is definitely not cool nor does it look like the sports car it should so given that fact :tongue:, I will assume most nsx fans have lowered their rides.

However once the car is dropped at some point the factory specs cannot be maintained so I wanted to compare notes. Please use this format and let us know what you have on your alignment sheet after car is dropped. I recently had mine done after lowering the car more to fit my new shoes!

Guy says looks like I'll be buying 3 sets of rear tires for every set of front tires at this rate but that's ok...


Vehicle: 2004 white/onyx NSX
Rims: Volk GT-V in 19x9.5, 18x8 up front
Suspension: Tien Flex coilovers
Custom mods: NO

Front camber: 1.2
Front caster: 8.6
Front toe: -0.13

Rear camber: 3.2
Rear toe: 0.14
Total toe: 0.28

Re: ALIGNMENT specs on lowered NSX, what do you guys have?

I had mine set to...

Front camber: 1.0 degrees
Front caster: 8.5 degrees
Front total toe: -1.0 mm

Rear camber: 1.0 degrees
Rear Total toe: 2.0 mm

A mild setup for good tire wear.

I forgot a critial note: be sure to indicate HOW LOW you are dropped or include one side-profile picture from car level!

I will snap a shot of my car later today since it looks sooo slammed with the new adjustments / alignment.

In the spec quoted above there are two different methods used for the Toe setting. RSO34 specified mm. Are the other specs I see i.e. -0.2, in degrees?

I have not done the math to prove the degrees vs. mm theory, but people may get confused trying to compare.

do you guys get even wear on the front and rear tires?

I have mine lowered with eibach and conservative settings, but both the front and rear still wear more inside.
