2017 to 2009 6MT Diff Swap - Install Notes

I've been living with a bad side bearing on my diff for about a year now. Mileage is now about 95k. Since used diffs go for about $500-600 for a 40k unit I decided I would let it ride and just...

Any panels/parts removed for mods? Are the rubber plugs just behind the roof, under the hatch in place and in good condition? Have you removed the side roof covers to check for intrusion routes?

I'm interested in the swifts because they seem like a good compromise with the soft/hard progressive spring rate but I'm really curious about the setup I mentioned. For example how do the Nismo...

Sport Springs Plus Nismo Dampers?

I replaced the springs/shocks on my 2009 sports with a barely used set of 2017 Nismo springs/shocks. It's pretty awesome for aggressive driving but it's pretty bouncy and abusive on the highway and...
