Dave has a great oportunity to do just that at nsxcapades.

If you go too low you'll bottom out the shock. That's the problem with the setup you're talking about.There is a way to have a 3rd groove cut into the Bils....I think Dali can do it or SOS.
Beware of the forum group think on the KWV3... Not saying they're neither good nor bad but half the guys I know who buy this setup bought it because the "experts" at NSXprime says so... just saying...That's some people's mentality. There's a good amount that have the KW3's from what I've read that used other coilover systems and prefer the KW3's. These are the people that I think track their car though.
Sometimes there are guys that don't drive the NSX near it's limits to appreciate the incremental improvement of an expensive coilover. What about the guy that simply enjoys driving it to church or the grocery store and the occassional NSX car meet? You want these guys to spend $2-3k on suspension when just getting that lowered look is priceless enough?I understand what you are saying, but you know street ride quality and overall wheel control are really what the damper does and the better the design, the better both of these. I don't thnk with current technology its possible to make a really good damper inexpensively, and the car pays the price. You really don't think having a lot better ride quality, motion control and handling are worth an extra $1000? It will transform your car!
where is the best place to buy the bc's?

Lots of people buy things to satisfy their need to buy something shiny out of a magazine ad or that they saw on a forum. They never track their car and think that because their car rides like it has 2x4s for dampers that it must handle AWESOME.Some say that they are cheap so they must suck. The mentality around prime seems to be if they arent kw v3's or better, they suck and arent worth buying.
How ever the people who actually have them seem to really dig them.
Ok. I think I have a solution.
Right now I have stock shocks and tanabe springs. About a 1.3 inch drop.
So I can get bilstein hd on thmotorsports for $428 free shipping. (black friday price)
then use my stock springs and use the lower perch for a 7/8 inch drop. I should be fine.
How are the bilstien with the stock springs?
Thoughts?
Have you heard of anyone going with the V3 who wasnt happy with it? I dont recall anyone.Beware of the forum group think on the KWV3... Not saying they're neither good nor bad but half the guys I know who buy this setup bought it because the "experts" at NSXprime says so... just saying...
So is a bilstien hd a good damper? At $428 it is a great buy, but I don't see why a $1200 ark coilover wouldn't have as good of performance as the bilstien?

The bottom line is the valving on cheap coil-overs is garbage, period dot.
That said I did have them on an old car of mine before I knew any better. Replaced 3 cartridges in 15k miles because they blew out and leaked. I'll never do it again.

Is this $428 shipped price confirmed for 4 shocks?
It's not about whether I think it is worth the extra $1000, it is about what my wife thinks.:wink:
First two sets are 18/19. The gray set is 17/18.are those 18 and 19 inch wheels?
