    Teins to go on this week along with MS front sway bar, in a week or two the ground effects will go on. Then probably the new rims.

    So are these a new design for the NC's, or same as NB's?

    I would imagine they are not the same since nothing caries over to the NC from the NA and NB.

    Totally different. The NC looks a lot like an RX-8 from underneath, but has very little in common with an NA/NB.

    Yea I thought I remember hearing the NC shared a common, or modified chassis with the RX-8.

    I thought the suspension geometry would have some carry over anyway.

    Teins are on and they are Incredible, also installed the MS front sway.
    Just need an alignment now, if I can ever find someone who has done an aggressive alignment and will share their #'s with a brutha.

    Just got back from a spirited ride down 51 to Granbury.
    The new teins are just fantastic!!!
    I barely had to touch the wheel and the car was rock solid on the curves, I can't believe what a difference they have made in the NC's suspension.
    On a smooth road the ride is more comfortable than stock, on a bumpy road there is way much more control in the cars handling, no more tramling, bump steer, lean, dive or squat. i am soooo glad I saved for them.
    And I can't stop looking out the window at how much better the stance of the car looks.
    thanks Gary for a great deal and great advice on this setup!
