What all did you replace GDirty?
Lower control arm bushings to Energy (necessary for steering), compression rod bushings to Energy (necessary for caster), SPC rear camber arms, SPC eccentric toe bolts, Kinetix V2 front upper control arms, CZP steering knuckle ball joints, KYB gr-2 shocks/struts and I'm sitting on an eibach G35 pro-kit and Ichiba spacers (25mm rear, 20mm front).

^^Sheet..

Big booty do they have some warranty on the alignment? It's usually at least 3k. Maybe u can raise it and go back n they won't know. Just tell them parts have "settled" and u just want it checked and ask for a printout. I've raised my older car with coil overs without knowing It changes toe and didn't Notice a difference. Worse case they don't honor it because u have aftermarket stuff. Just go on a slow week day if u can.

Oh, I just realized you said you were trying to avoid an alignment. Unfortunately you can't; toe is always set last so any adjustments you make will screw up your toe. Toe is the most important adjustment when it comes to tire wear. What you CAN do is ask them to fix just the toe so they don't have to mess with your aftermarket parts if they have a problem with it.

Is $325 a good price for a remote start/alarm install? Or too pricey? Not including the actual alarm.

Do the 05 automatics with sport package come with automatic headlights?
I owned a 2004 6mt not sure which package but I think it was premium, it had the auto headlights, sunroof, homelink and everything and I loved it but I want to know if 05 sports came with auto headlights or not.

It's been about almost 1 year now since Ive had my G and it needs a refill on the coolant. My question is can I just top it or do I need to flush and fill using the same liquid?

It'd be better to go ahead and do a flush. What makes you think that it needs a refill?

The reservoir is empty. The one above the windshield fluid.

Flush it. If you've personally never had it flushed its better to assume it needs it rather than assume it doesn't. You don't want the rust deposits that build up over time sitting in there.

Here's one...
There's a high pitched whining/metallic noise Comin from driver side front rotor perhaps?
It's louder when the car is first moving-especially when backing outta my parking spot( no brakes applied (6mt)). I'm thinking the pad may be the culprit here but the noise doesn't occur when braking so that makes me question that theory...
