Default 03 STI Standard suspension question.

I have recently purchased a 03 Sti and when I took wheels off other day I notice on the rear it has red prodrive springs fitted yet on the front they are black springs can't see any writing on them. Is this normal or do I have lowered sponges on back and standard on front? Although the car does not look like it's sat any lower on rear to front.

Black springs are standard normal from subaru, the red ones would be prodrive ones. It does seem you have different suspension,

That is a bit strange!
The Prodrive rear springs did not drop the rear very much. The fronts were more noticable.

That's what I reckon has happened. I'll have to get some for front. No doubt I'll have to buy the set.

Whereabouts are you?
For the price of a set of new Prodrive springs, I have a complete set of struts with Prodrive springs fitted (Don't knock!) that I removed from my 03STi when I fitted Apex coilovers. Alt. I have a set of standard springs
