Note the Prodrive springs are made by Eibach...
Chris from Jap Performance hates the Prodrive spings becuase the loss in ride quality was not worth the small improvement in handling in his opinion, but remember he is running on 19" wheels with very low 35 profile tyres. 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...

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?!

Took the car out of the garage this morning and noticed for the first time that the electric window lock switch was not illuminated like all the other door switch gear, can someone please confiem if it should glow red like the others.
If it should does anyone know if its a bulb that can be replaced or an inline soldered LED that would not be so easy to fix?
Thanks
Arron

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.
