H&R cup coilover

[kcphuah]

Hi all, I just purchased a bone stock 1995 Nsx T and I am shopping for a set of coilover for the car but I don’t see too many review of the h&r coilover cup kit here, is there a reason why?

My nsx will be predominantly used for casual spirited driving, and If you have them on your car, can you share your thoughts, thank you.

KW V3 are the way to go. If you going to go coilover. This is what most people are going with unless they are looking for a full race setup.

If you’re just looking for a lower look a spring swap will do just fine.

I think that the cup kit probably came out sometime between the Koni/Bilstein strut matched with another spring (Dali, H&R, etc) and the advent of the coilover option becoming cheaper.

The BC racing kit for example seems wholly competent with full adjustability and the option of changing spring rates for about the same cost as the cup kit. Honcho did a great review of them as noted below:

BC Racing Coilovers - Comprehensive Review

As many of you may know from reading my other threads here on Prime, my hopes for an OEM Type-S suspension were dashed when I discovered they have been discontinued. The similar unavailability of the NA2 NSX-R suspension and very limited support for the system here in the US led me to embark on...

what is your budget for suspension?

If your car isn’t seeing the track there’s zero reason to buy kwv3 unless you like spending more money. BC and fortune make a great budget friendly set up provided you don’t go too stiff on spring rates.

 

[docjohn]

whatever you do make sure the spring rates/ ride height are within the performance parameters of the damper..

Thank you all, I made decision to go with KW V3, the H&R drop might be a tad too much for me.

Can't go wrong with KW V3. LapOfTheWorld ran a set for almost 100k miles on his NSX.

I have just got the kw v3 installed and ride quality is so much more improved and precise to stock imho. I have about 1 finger gap front and rear and now the front lip is 4” off the ground, I think height stance is perfect now. Also reupholster my seats and door cards. So happy, thought I share my experience here.
