Default Classic STI suspension in black?

Hello,

I've bought a classic STI suspension from a 1997 STI saloon which is completely black. This is for my 1996 WRX wagon. So now I've 2 questions:

1. Why is the complete suspension black? I thought that the STI ones are all red/ pink? Or where there black ones (original), too on the STIs?

2. Will this suspension fit plug % play to my wrx wagon? Are there any differences between STI suspensions for classic wagon or saloon?

cheers

Nic

There are black STi struts, they are just different variants. Lower spec generally.

Now I'm fairly certain the fronts are exactly the same but the rears are different from wagons and saloons. I've not done it personally so might need clarifying.

I've forgotten to say that the springs are black, too. Is this original subaru? Dampers and springs are black! They are from a 1997 STI WRX
