He is going to do a track day on them to see if they are better on the track than the std springs...

I had the Tein lowering springs on mine (with 18" wheels) and they were ok for daily driving. Chris drove my car with them on for the article in the mag and also thought they were fine!

I have recently gone over to a set AST coilovers and have a the Tein lowering springs in the garage if you want them mate...
Thats a good point about the wheel size, how much do you want for the Tein springs mate ?

More than happy with mine
Ive looked back over the threads, and quite a few people have them fitted, cant see many negative comments. Maybe the wheel size is making the difference, What size are you running yours on mate ?

On yours I think they look quite good as they are, go nicely with the wheels.

While we are having a quick market - if you are upgrading the brakes on a WRX or SGT, I have for sale, rear 08Sti Hatch 315mm "Brembo" calipers, pads, discs and pipes as removed from car. As new condition. Done max 2k "running in" miles.
(Fronts Sold.)
Rears will fit 2008 WRX/SGT Scoob if you modify back plates or replace backplates with STi ones.

There are some really nice cars in this thread. I'm growing to like the 'new' scoob day by day - can look pretty evil with some simple mods. However, I live in central London, and since its release, I've still only seen 3 in the flesh! Where are you all hiding, or don't I get out enough?!

I really like the wheels, but my opinion the colour of them is wrong it makes them look small, should be black they would look wicked

Had a look at mine when i came home just before and yes they are all illuminated on the drivers door, most likely an led as a bulb wouldnt be very durable in there.

Hmmm, interesting. The window lock button is the only button on mine that doesn't illuminate either - sure I read somewhere that that was normal so I've never thought any more about it. Some more input from other owners would be useful here I think.

And apparently the "silver unit" is not available as a seperate part, it comes as part of a complete door card kit - at least that's what the dealer I bought the car from told me.

Thanks fellas!

So that's 4 of us so far then with non-illuminating window lock buttons.

Anybody else care to chime in?

Can't keep up with all these subjects in a single thread - we need a dedicated sub-forum!!
