2017 to 2009 6MT Diff Swap - Install Notes

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?

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...
