My H&R roll bars were the same colour front and rear. However I wouldn't worry about it if H&R say they're right. Besides they have been known to change colours - their 964 lowering spring have gone from red to purple IIRC.

Got the car back from the shop and let me say, what a difference in the way she sits! It's amazing what lowering the car an inch will do to the aesthetics of the car. Love the look of her!
As far as handling. To be honest, feels the same as my prior setup (Bilstein HD/H&R greens). The suspension is set up right in the middle, so that may play a role. Ride quality is nice. Not bumpy at all. On turns, I do notice the car feel more planted to the road with little to no body roll so that's a definite improvement. Like Frank said, feels like its on rails. I do feel the rear tires kick out a bit on spirited turns from a stop. There is also a little rub on the front at full turn, but I'm guessing proper camber would fix that. Overall, I'm very pleased with the outcome. I do need more time behind the wheel to get a better feel of the suspension working. A proper alignment/geo settings is next with the new wheels. For now...here are some pics.

I see someone posted a picture of you car on Facebook today Rey.
I couldn't post the link unfortunately, but it might have been to the Porsche 964 club page.

Test fitted it yesterday to get an idea of what she might look like. I am very pleased. Can't wait to get it installed. But first, dropping it off to have coated a different color. Stay tuned....

Just wanted to say that I love the Arrow Blue color, but I agree that the gold wheels are a bit much. It does indeed look like a Subaru color scheme, I used to drive a 1998 2.5RS that came with Rally Blue paint and Gold Wheels from the factory and while that gold was a little more muted than yours it's not far off. Anyway, it's not bad but it is a little "blingy". The ghost racing stripe though is very well done and looks awesome. Sad to see the duck tail go, but I understand that you're wanting to create a more modern look for the car so it makes sense.
The headlight rings honestly look a little gaudy to me. Perhaps a different color would work better. I'd actually like to see what they look like in the same lighter blue as the ghost stripe but it might be too subtle?
