Don't they have part number labels on them?

My '05 JDM STI had black struts.

Earlier classics didn't have the red suspension. When I replaced the shocks on my STI 3, the struts were black. I believe version 5 onwards had the red/pink ones.

This is what i mean, 2 different cars/setup yet look identical
(one of the pics is off here, im not in no way insinuating anything, merely using the pic, cheeky i know !!)

RB5





sti




Are they the same ?

RB5 is a uk car so shoudl be different to STI !?!??



a WRX set looked just like BOTH above aswell

are they all the same and the STI seller is mistaken ?

just baffled now
