Help make me stiff

Ok so I put on a set os swift springs and they are awsome but when I go in steep drive ways the sun roof makes a little bit of noise and I really dont like the idea of that. If I wanted a car that squeaks and rattles I would have just bought a wrx. I already have a rear shock tower brace and the cusco V2 chasis brace. What else can I do short of a cage to keep it from twisting?

No. Its also not safe to put those in a car where passengers would be in the back seat, unless you want to split their heads like melons..

the only things that made noise in my car was the column surround cause i never tightened it, the cruise button both of those rattles were easy fixes that i was too lazy to perform cause they never came to mind when i had the time. the other one was the rear cusco os-t brace just because those make noise when you go in driveways no matter what. just play you stereo loud u wont hear the squeaks

IMO the stiffer you make your car, the more new rattles and noises you're going to hear. If you want a quiet car that is built like a rock, you're going to have to look to other car companies.....

Thanks scorke! I know I'm stiff!

Hey Steve, about the only thing that's gonna help you is a roll cage. Mine squeaks, I just don't give a ****.

I remember way back when I had my TL-S the sunroof squeaked all the time. There was an Acura TSB that said to just put some kind of silicone tape around the perimeter of the sunroof and that fixed the squeak, though not the flex. But you could probably call an Acura dealer and ask a service writer if they know anything about it. It was an '03 TL Type-S. Hope it helps.
