Utilized
on the Japan-only NSX-R model, the factory
tuned NSX-R suspension is the result of a tremendous factory effort to
create the best performance oriented suspension possible.
Using revised valving and spring rates exclusive to the 2002 model year
NSX-R, the suspension uses specialized Showa dampers with high fluid
capacity (external fluid reservoirs utilized). Although stiffer springs
are used, the fast action, high fluid capacity, high quality Showa
dampers are able to maintain a relatively smooth ride on rough pavement
or track surfaces.
The
suspension ride height is decreased for lowered center of gravity for
improved stability during cornering.
On track
testing is Japan has resulted in fantastic reviews from professional
drivers and the media. The NSX-R was recently rated by the UK-based
magazine Evo as the "sports car of the year" largely due to the
suspension's balance and performance.
Please note that the full suspension and
brakes are photographed above. The NSX-R coil over suspension kit
includes the complete assembled dampers, springs, and upper mounts.
