What colour Prodrive springs ?
Hi - I saw a set of Prodrive springs FS on SN the other week - they were Red, Rich found some on eBay for me but they are Bluish/Green in Colour 
The Prodrive website has a Red set on the Spring kit bit no Blue by the look of it - What you reckon Springs needed are for 2002 Sti Suspension.
Si

Well been onto the seller again who explained that he had rung Prodrive and they said that the colour could vary from model year/ if Wrx or Sti or even region and could be either red or blue Arrghh.

It is also worth remembering that the struts for a classic will have a different dampening rate compared to a newage car due to the difference in kerb weights.

Aren't those the springs that Prodrive install? 
They don't show the WRX springs which are BLUE and the STi springs are RED.
I had the Prodrive WRX lowering springs on my Hawkeye WRX and I have the Prodrive STi lowering springs on my Spec C.

Perhaps they can be bodged to fit but the lowering spring kits are definitely different between classics and newages, now are we talking about swapping out the complete struts inc springs or fitting springs to Simon's existing suspension.

I've no doubt that physically they fit but they are not correct for your car, as I said earlier on the classic and newage Impreza's have different kerb weights and require dampening rates.
Have a look at the link below and I think you'll find different kits for the model types.
