Its a custom Longlife exhaust system, it was made so you dont have to cut the rear diffuser, its loud when you give it some, but usually quite when just cruising around!!


To be fair I would like something a lot louder, So anyone want to do a swap, for another 3"inch exhaust system, pm me with what you got!!!

I chickened out on white when I had my bright blue scoob, went for gunmetal instead! I saw sense 6 months later and re-did them white. Glad I did. I also chickened out on a de-scoop which was eventually done around the same time I had the change of heart with the wheels! You should always go with your gut instinct imo

Yours would have looked epic on white wheels, not that it doesn't look epic now of course

Not sure how low the coilovers are, but im running Eibach adjustable coilovers!!!

Nice hawk you got, the wheels look nice!!! Defo liking the STi centre caps, think another little mod on the list!!!
Great looking car you have! I was wondering what is the ride like on your Eibacj coilovers, I was thinking of going for the same, not many people have them though, Im not really a fan of the BC's.

This is the 2nd scooby Ive had with Eibach pro street coilovers. They are much softer then BC, Tein, Cusco and any Jap brand coilovers i have tried, and you can use the standard top mounts and rear top hats. Pretty sure that they use KW V1 shocks/struts with Eibach's own progressive springs.


As for ride quality, at low speed ride quality isn't too much different from standard. I drive over rough roads everyday, and to be honest, it feels as it would if I had the standard suspension set up!!
But at high speeds when giving it some, The car feels WAY more planted! The Eibach's soak up more bumps in the road, and at the same time, seem to deliver a heavier steering feel, making the car feel more planted, and less "twitchy", and overall just plain better in almost every way.
