Looks amazing. I'd just like to see the rear come down a little bit more.

It's a bit of a balancing act to avoid angering the traction control... the car originally came with 16" front wheels and 17" rears, with the larger diameter you need to adjust the profile of the tires to keep the total diameter ratio more or less the same, so I am running a 17" front rim with a 215/40/17 and a 18" rear with a 265/35/18 - any larger of a sidewall would screw up TCS, and any adjustment of the suspension (eibach pro kit) would throw off the handling - not much you could really to do bring the rear down, although I never noticed an issue with the current ride height.

The main differance, coming from BMW's, is the lack of inner fender space; on a bimmer you can get a nice tuck, on the nsx there just simply isn't enough room inside the fender to do anything while still maintaining drivability and suspension travel.

If you don't care about drivability you can run a shitload of camber, like the yokohama/advan showcar:
