Default Try to identify my bugeye suspension

Hi gents,
I am new to the scooby world and the search function seems to go nowhere.
The previous owner told me that the bugeye WRX has the prodrive suspension installed. When I looked at them this afternoon, they are red shocks and springs. Are these actually the standard prodrive suspension? I managed to read a sticker said "RB" etc on one of the shock leg. The rear springs still has the rubber protector on them. Can anyone help to point out please?
Many thanks.

Are these made by Bilstein or KYB or just standard Subaru parts?

Red struts are the standard fit KYB on the STI model, These are better than the Black WRX KYB`s, If they have Red springs on them these will more than likely be Prodrive springs as they used to sell Red ones for the STI and Blue ones for the WRX, Not a bad upgrade for a WRX to be honest,

Thanks Gaz for the information. So they are standard STi struts (KYB) with Prodrive STi springs. Happy day!
