When the NSX brake pedal is pressed aggressively, the firewall and brake booster sheet metal deflects from the force being applied. This deflection results in an ambiguous "spring-like" feel from the brake pedal, especially at the further range of the pedal. This feeling can reduce confidence and feedback from the brakes at the limit as some of the force being applied flexes the sheet metal rather than being transferred into the brake system.
The CAD-optimized and 4-axis machined aluminum brace reduces the movement of the master cylinder by more than 50% by supporting the master cylinder as the pedal is depressed while still allowing a slight amount of movement for compliance. The brace attaches to the chassis using two heavy-duty factory 12mm bolts. The result is an improved brake feel, giving the driver confidence at the braking limit.
Installation requires no modifications to the chassis and is fully reversible. The included brace, support foot, and pivot bolt are machined from billet 6061 aluminum and 304 stainless steel for reduced weight and corrosion resistance. The pivot foot and bolt snap together, and the entire kit can be installed in around 15 minutes.
Note: this part is designed for 1991-99 Left Hand Drive NSX (Americas and European market vehicles) with the original ABS modulator. A design for 2000-05 NSX (and earlier NSX with updated ABS modulators) will be available later this year.s
Features
- Plug-and-play replacement for factory shock absorbers: this not only saves cost, but also keeps the factory features in place for comfort and durability.
- Addresses issue with failing factory shock absorbers: the shock absorbers are designed properly for the factory top mount and the weight of the vehicle addressing the issue that causes the factory shock absorbers to fail.
- Quality motorsports-grade shock absorbers: the AST monotube shock absorber is a motorsports-quality product that uses the same technology as the GT3 NSX, which also eliminates the MR shock absorber.
- Superior ride quality: due to the advanced AST design and the shocks being tuned specifically to the factory springs, motion control - especially high speed compression - is improved over the factory shock. The harshness from the factory suspension, felt during sudden suspension movement, such as with breaks in pavement, is eliminated. This not only improves suspension performance but also improves ride quality.
- Adjustable ride height: set the ride height to the factory position, or lower the vehicle by 10 or 20mm, by setting the spring perch to one of three positions. No lower springs or lowering kits are required (or recommended).
- Adjustable damping settings: the shock absorbers include adjustment knobs. Set the shock absorbers to our recommended settings and forget them, or tune the shocks to your individual taste.
- Compatible with factory electronics: cancellation modules are included that eliminate diagnostic codes from removing the factory shock absorbers. ScienceofSpeed has even sourced the factory connectors so that these are 100% "plug-and-play".
- Reduced weight: the weight is reduced by 1.4 lbs per front shock absorber and 1.0 lbs per rear shock absorber.
