Default RCM gauge package

Hi , I'm after a gauge package for my Wrx and until reading some negative threads on scoobyworld about reliability I was going to get the prosprort package off them . Have seen an alternative package on RCM site . Has anyone used these gauges ? Any info would be good .thanks

I did a lot of research before buying my gauges & these were my second choice after Defis. I bought Defis in the end as they are the best,but the Shaddow gauges are much better value & RCM don't sell crap. Do a price comparison with ScoobyClinic before buying but if similar price I'd buy off RCM.

Only £20 difference and that's with a defi pod with the carbon trim. Thanks for the advice . Think I will go with the RCM gauges as defies would result in a divorce ... Mmmmmmm there's a thought . DEFIS IT IS THEN

3 gauges and a pod....£400.

If you buy the gauges seperately from them it will cost you £270. That means they are charging £130 for a plastic pod !!!!

I bought my prosport a-pillar package from Scoobyworld and had no problems with it or the service.

Probably worrying about nothing but read a few posts saying deliverys were taking ages and they are closed for a few weeks .

Just seems very steep for a plastic pod.

I use prosport gauges, got 5 in my car and have had no issues at all. Personally, they offer the best value for money in my opinion.

Guys its Mike@RCM. The Defi gauge pod is £144.00 on its own (best pod available by a mile) and a genuine Subaru adaptor plug (£15.96) is included with the pack so there is a good saving buying the kit. The Shadow gauges are a great alternative to the hugely expensive Defis and having had Prosport in the past would recommend the Shadow over them for sure. If you need any more info though just call me tomorrow for a chat. Happy to help

I've Shadow gauges and they're exceptional good and really good value for money
About the gauge pod,this gauge pod is ATi which is best on market and fitting of this gauge pod is easy

Really good value for money and really you can't go wrong with these gauges

Cheers. Although they're £100 more than the package on ScoobyWorld. Are they a lot better the pro sport?

I understand they're cost more,but in my view they're better looking and I've before Prosport and they're been good for me,but someone robbed our car on New Year eve and we are bought Shadow and must admit,we are very happy with them

Here is Shadow setup at our wagon

i had the prosport stepper series from scoobyworld.
housed in an ATI pod which is the closest to the OEM dash colour you will get,
never had any probs with them in 2 yrs.

my mate has the rspec gauges above and there prosport gauges rebranded, thats is ths only difference!!

ive just fitted defis to mine and my mate has the shadow gauges and they are very nice and easy to read gauges,

all the gauges mentioned do the job very well but it all comes down to cost and what set up suits your pocket
