I have an (non STi) WRX Type RA I think mine are alloy as well. The bonnet is ally but the boot is very light steel. Most think the boot is ally because its light but I put a fridge magnet on it stuck to it so I guess its steel . Becareful not to scratch the paint on your boot if you do though, I used a very thick cloth .
Oh mine came with the full STI suspension system as well including the pink struts
.
It also has the STi lights and the STI4 spoiler, and the STI rev limiter 8250 but WRX clocks and redline 7,500 (work that one out )
And finally the STI6 VF29 turbo

Indeed they have! 
But there not much lighter, if at all than the steel ones that are on the UK cars??
This i discovered as i snapped an alloy one!
The steel ones cost less than half the price (For a pair!) of the alloy ones

Not really sure, obviously i had to replace both for steel, but it still handles like its on rails, and theirs no loss in response either.
Does anybody know ????
