I do a lot of highway driving, living 200 miles away from the rest of my family. The old 6gc has been incredibly reliable, but the one thing about the ST is it's NOISY on the highway, and that's on the stock wheels ( can't imagine 17's or above). I plan on adding some insulation inside the doors soon, but I think the majority of the noise comes from the wind passing by the A pillar. Is there anything that can be done to quiet this down a bit?

On my old Celica, I lined the doors, floor, trunk, and all plastic panels (minus the dash) with carpet padding. I got it from home depot in decent size roll. That cut down quite a bit of road noise and made my sound system sound much cleaner..

As far as wind noise..it might help..but there's nothing reasonable I can think of that will directly affect the wind noise.
