Default Sedan vs. Wagon

Hey guys just wondering if I can get some info on the 02 wrx differences between wagon and sedan, mainly the rear suspension and do the run the same coilovers. Like should i be searching for wagon set or does it not matter. I know the springs are different on the stock struts so wondering if there is a difference with coilovers. Also sorry in advance if this post makes you cringe. I am not well educated with my car and would appreciate any help.
Thanks

They will fit the coilovers that is, my old exhaust on my 01 Wrx was a straight fit onto a 02 wagon

There's minor differences in rear suspension, like the track width (lateral arms are different) only by 5-10mm so rear roll bar will be different.

There is a Nasioc thread called something along the lines of 'will this suspension fit my car' which is quite comprehensive.

Hope that helps

Also as you may or may not know the front guards on the sedan are much wider and nicer looking than the wagon ones.
