Default GB270 suspension

I've been offered some suspension struts off a GB270, now I thought they would be stock Hawkeye WRX, but apparantly these are silver and have Bilstein and Prodrive markings on them, can anyone confirm what was fitted to GB270's?

It was modded over and above the standard WRX including a small drop which I believe was 30mm and the front and 10mm at the rear

They sound more like the RB320 setup to me.

Thanks Jon the drop is the prodrive springs, I'm looking at the struts only (didn't make that clear)

Thanks MM, how certain are you of that? You'd think the seller would know what car he bought!

GB270 had standard WRX shocks prodrive springs and a Subaru uprated 22mm fixed rear anti roll bar. I have a gb270 wagon and the above is for sale in the general items and is sat in my garage at present (small plug I'm afraid). Definitely did not come with the prodrive shocks upgrade as standard. Standard shocks are black bodied by the way if this helps not silver.
