    So I tried to repack my rear struts, and long story short I broke one of my struts and now it clunks even louder than before. Although the front struts don't clunk, I have noticed that they squeak over bumps. So I'm looking for a fix to my problem. I don't want to spend a lot, but let me know what you have.

    thanks for the link, but since my front struts squeak also I think I may be better spending the extra and going the coilover route?

    I'm sure I have a rear insert or two and housings for the rear. I'd have to triple check, but I'm sure I have at least one.

    Also, the front struts themselves don't tend to "sqweak". If it's sqweaking it's more than likely a spring or something else....

    PM me if you're insterested in what I have.

    Another note- As Idget stated....going new and with D-specs will give your ride the brand new feel and they have proven to be a inexpensive upgrade from the STI crap. The D-specs match up great with stock spring rates.

    also, for "good' coilovers, you're looking at 2000+
