The NSX uses a complicated web of springs, shocks, and rubber band like "absorption dampeners" All of which are pretty entangled in the exhuast bearing system... it's a very difficult process to remove all the safty pins and other precautions holding the whole system together. Not to mention the fact that it's a Solid rear axle car so your gonna need blocks, and bigger U-bolts. Good luck man.

Just make sure you add housefold refuse to the flux capacitor and the rest is smooth sailing y0!

Seriously, how are you lowering it? Aftermarket springs...don't tell me your cutting the springs?

I didn't see a DIY on Danoland's web site or Prime but the search feature on Prime should be able to help you out. I know I've seen it there before. Basically, IIRC, the fronts are a fairly basic procedure but the rears are a bit more troublesome. I think you have to use a leverage bar to force some rear suspension peices out of place. How's that for ambiguous!?

Is it just me or is the NSX forum getting as about as sarcastic as the Type R forum?

There is a section in the NSX FAQ and you can find it here:
http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/DIY/shocks.htm
However, it isn't in the index for the Do It Yourself area. (I just sent a note to the webmaster there to add it.)

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure the search feature on Prime doesn't work. (The search on the site which you would want for the FAQ. The search on the forums works.)
