Default difference betweenWRX and P1 suspension

hiya

i got suspension (springs and dampers) from a P1 to replace the standard stuff on my WRX wagon (classic). I compaired the front P1 shocks with those on my car and they look pretty much identical. Should there be any vissible difference between the suspension from aP1 and that of a WRX wagon?

thanks
Ash

Dampers are standard jdm sti dampers but the springs are eibach springs of a rate and length unique to the P1. The differing lengths also provide a bit more rake in the stance, and the rear ARB is allegedly slightly different in size to the standard impreza one but I don't know if the latter is true.
