So you're looking for suspension to reduce the NVH or because you have 245k, NVH is not a concern for you anymore?

my scoob is slowly leaning towards track only car. but yes, i dont care about NVH. i care about handling, grip, and power. ill be picking up a 2007 or 08 camry as a DD while my scoob is undergoing major overhaul (complete STI build pushing 400+)

NVH is being misapplied in this case. When people bring it up they are generally talking about stuff like bushing firmness. As you get bushings with less play in them they absorb less vibration and impact (harshness). This also increases noise.

Watch an in-car video of a race car. Notice how it makes all kinds of squeaks and rattles and how much the camera itself vibrates.

right. i just couldnt think of a quick way to describe my current crap bushings. janky, wobbly, clunky, vibration while driving, etc etc. i was trying to describe my worn out ones. but yes, NVH usually IMO refers to bushings that were bought brand new bring about NVH with them. i know its misapplied, but im hoping ppl will know what i mean. lol
