    Especially at lower speeds and while turning there's a loud clunking noise. Now I'm thinking its the strut? Could it be anything else?

    Probably not. STi's are pretty notorious for the strut clunkin...especially in the rear end.

    Mine clunked so I used it as one other excuse to buy coils. I still kept the stockers though. For how bouncy the STi ride is to me already I had no issues switching to BC's ha

    Dont buy new struts. I had the same problem last year. New struts are like $300 a piece. I got new pairs from TIC for $500. I highly recommend them and it also stopped my clunk.
