Default Red Skocks
Hi Guys, i removed all my wheels yesterday and cleaned my wheel arches and shocks so i could waxoil them, and i noticed the shocks were red, would these be after market shocks? The springs were black from what i could see.

The car is a 1999 WRX STi 5 Type R.
Cheers.

Could also be GAB's, jack up the front and check the dampers for adjustment dials. Had these on mine when it was 1st imported, i never knew they were adjustable until i replaced them
