Default suspension riddle????

could a tein coilover kit for a classic saloon be used on a wagon? i know the cars are the same. however do the kits differ in anyway? i've a wagon and my rear shocks are tired so the garage told me, therefore i need new ones so i thought i'd upgrade whilst replacing. i'm one a budget so i was going to buy second hand units of the net. can anyboby enlighten me please?

It would certainly fit, ideally you need a stiffer rear spring due to the higher rear end weight (the stock wagon spring is stiffer than the saloons) but as you can adjust the ride height on the coilovers thats less of an issue, as they are stock 2 12 (I think) then as long as you know the Tein spring rate, the Demon Thieves or similar will be able to sel you what you need for around £50 each.
