look up the rear spring mount mod to even out the back. not sure if you've found that yet.

They'll settle and be even lower if they haven't already.

The spring mount mod is just taking the top spring mount off and cutting like an inch or 2 off of it. Not sure if you did the springs or had someone else do it. The rear is uber easy to do tho'.

looking good man, congrats on the purchase. i love the fact that it doesn't have a sunroof, yes it's rare. i have an '04 twilight blue coupe 6mt without a sunroof and i love it. yeah they are pretty much the base models. when i was looking for my car i found a couple of '06 and '07's without sunroofs but it seems like 90-95% of coupes have them. i think the roof looks so much cleaner without them though.

Thanks man, thats how i feel too. every car ive owned has had a sunroof, and i never used it more than 5 times. maybe on a beach trip or something but thats it. a sunroof is pretty girly imo haha.

yesss wow i actually found another person that thinks the same about sunroofs lol. everyone i've talked to about it was like "wtf? you don't like sunroofs? how can you not like them?! i love mine!" etc. thought i was going crazy for a little while haha.

My G is my first car with a sunroof and I do love it here in Portland, OR. My old cars didn't have them, and unless you have door visors it's a little difficult to get some fresh air without getting any rain in. But MAN would I love to have one without a sunroof just because of how clean it looks and the rarity. There are probably benefits if you track the car as well.
