Road Noise
 

So I've had my STi coilovers in for a couple months now. I love the way the car handles and feels now. It's a completely different car. The only thing I don't like is the road noise, which is due to the absence of rubber in the top mounts. I was thinking, could I just get a thin (1-3mm) piece of heavy duty rubber, drill 3 holes in it and mount it in between the top hat and the chassis? I've been looking on the internet for results and some people have mentioned it. I also read that a thick piece of leather would help and not wear as fast. Any ideas/thoughts on this?

The nuts for the strut mounts may slowly back out due to the rubber being flexible. I'd be very cautious about this idea, it sounds iffy.

The same thought crossed my mind :(

The "coil spring isolators" on this page might be worth looking into.

you could just drill a hole in the stud above the nut and put a cotter pin in it.
