I have not posted on this before and looking for some help.
My 91 is stock with 15/16 wheels.
I have collector plates on my car which permits lowering by an inch but requires retaining oem wheels (+/-two years)
It looks like it's time to replace my dampers.
I have a set of low mileage oem 98 dampers with Tein-S-Tech springs mounted on them which would lower the car about an inch I.
My question centers on wheel offset when you lower an NSX.
My understanding is at oem height the rear suspension arms are parallel to the ground and the wheel is at it's outermost position.
As the suspension moves up or down the suspension arms go through an arc which pulls the wheel more inboard.
This means lowering the car changes the suspension arm angle so the wheels are all pulled inboard by some amount.
Is it a significant amount?
As the oem wheel position sets the wheels fairly inboard, I'm concerned lowering my car will make it look worse.
Is the solution here to put some small spacers behind the oem wheels to pull them out?
I'm aware lowering requires re-alignment
