Audio either works or it doesn't.

Side note: I found that replacing the head-unit greatly improved the sound of the base model speakers. But that's all subjective.

Thanks for the info. I already switched the head unit with a Sony AA/CP features.

Car sits low on coilovers and I do not have a low profile jack, only a regular three ton. So today I made some make shift wooden plank "stair" ramps to get some clearance off the ground. They worked like a charm! Jack fits directly under the front of the car and I can jack it from the centre point. MUAHAHAHAH. Oh, while the car was on that slant life, I took off the side skirt, had enough of them. Funny how stock can look sexy.

Ordered Swift springs for the rear since the stock Nismo springs are far, far too large for the SPL rear mid-links.

That's what I did. I am too cheap to buy race ramps. LOL I made front and rear ones.

Honestly it makes sense to do so if you have the time. I wonder what the weight ratings are on the home made wooden ramps? I still use a jack and jack stands of course in conjunction with them.

Only bought rears to fit the SPL rear mid-links. No drop, car is already low enough that I cringe going over roadkill lol.

Here are pics of Massive amp and 10” subwoofer install. Finally loud volume w tight bass.

Tried to reinstall the aimgain splitter and everything went to hell. The old rivnuts pushed through the skirt so I had to take off the oem skirt to remove the old ones and install new ones. Turned into a several hour ordeal as I had to hunt down larger bolts too.
