Default Jdm Widetrack Suspension Advice

Hi, I have a 2004 Jdm Widetrack Sti that can be seen on https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...widetrack.html.
My rear struts are knocking and am looking to replace the whole set. I don't really want to go down the coil over route, so what shock/spring combinations do people recommend? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Retain the springs and fit KYB AGX adjustables. They were a great combo on my GC8 STi.

cannot recommend these enough. Far superior to coilovers for the road. Adjust-ability means you can stiffen them up for the track if needed but dampening is perfect for uneven B road driving.

The non-inverted bugeye saloon Agx, 5x100pcd, don't fit front 114.3pcd (I assume a 2004 jdm widetrack has 114.3pcd?).

You could fit the rear bug saloon agx on a blob/hawk saloon, but you'd need a spacer to fit the later version blob/hawk rear top hat - as the agx were made for the bug rear top mount.

It is a late 2004 widetrack model, so 5x114.3pcd.
