that's great. but who's stopping us for modifying the car in a way that it's like 2006 models?: firm and noiseless

we know how to put on rims, check CEL codes, get it a poly-thousand dollar paintjob, but can't make it feel like a new car? BS !!

-strip the car to the frame - sandblast it - seal it undercoat and interior coat it
-200lbs of dynamat and insulation
-200lbs of aluminum sub-frame reinforcement
-All new Tubular aluminum suspension components
-All new interior dash/leather/heated seats

you'll get as close as i think you need to...

i've decided that the noise from the trunk is merely that my springs are so stiff. The purpose of springs in the suspension of all cars out the factory is to cushion the ride right? well ordering and installing Ground Controls in my suspension with Eibachs with a spring rate of 250 and 200 i guess is the reason why the trunk is so damn noisy now ... the immediate remedy that comes to mind is replacing my springs with softer springs, but of course that isn't going to happen because i've dumped alot of money into these new ones in there now, so anyone have any ideas on how to make the car more quieter over rough rides in compensation for stiffer springs ?

i know sports cars are supposed to have stiff springs, that's why i got them that way. but it makes me wonder how noisy those other sports cars can be then. someone's said that the Acura NSX is extremely stiff and u feel every bump, but i don't know what the story is for how the car rattles if at all ... please give me ideas

When I had a noise coming from the hatch it was a bad strut. Banging on the wheel well.
