Suspension advice please, 03 wagon
I've got an '03 wagon and I threw away the best suspension I ever had, the STi pink non adjustables.
I am looking for something similar now...My current coil overs make a lot of noise and are too harsh for daily driving.
What I need is something like my old pinks, essentially street struts that are firmer than stock, but I don't want any noise...I do occasional track days, but mostly I just drive on the road.
Thanks for any help.

I really liked Prodrive springs with KYB GR2 struts on my old 2002 WRX wagon. Not exactly a track setup but comfortable enough, good drop and good handling (I also had front and rear endlinks, rear sedan sway bar, steering rack bushings and 16x7 RS wheels with RE050A tires). I kinda miss the ol wagon.
Currently I have an 04 STi with stock struts and JDM pink springs.....kinda harsh and noisy but not as bad as most coilovers.
Dynamat is another option to reduce noises.

Dynamat? I probably have more Dynamat Extreme in my car than anyone else on the board, I went through 2 1/2 rolls installed. It makes the car heavier, haha, I don't see any reduction in noise level. The DynaPad may actually reduce noise, a friend of mine used the cheapest carpet padding from Home Depot and that made a huge difference in his car.
Thanks much for your reply, I will look out for the KYB inserts.
No reduction at all from Dynamat extreme? Dang, that sucks, I have some waiting to be installed.... we'll see.
I thought the Prodrive springs had a good drop, heres a pic from ~ 2005.
