rear struts are clunking like a mother. common problem with STi struts, the grease in the inner bodies turns solid and the strut body ends up no longer moving smoothly but kind of sticking as it goes along (stiction).
i'm gonna ride these out until later this year and have them rebuilt by FEAL and also revalved to match the stock springs better (they are overdamped). plan is to replace the tophats as well - Whiteline Com-C in front, Group N in the back. i'll toss in the RTAB's as well and get it aligned, and then be done with the suspension for a long time.
registered for my first RallyX in November. getting less excited about autocrosses these days but still want to go out and race. i'm looking forward to this.
