Between the sti saloon and sti wagon? Yes all will be the same, spring rate are slightly different on the wagon for load carrying afaik.

Not sure in V3 turbo wise ...... the V4 has a ball bearing VF24

i have a v5 sti wagon , and its turbo is a vf28

Also i think the wagon is slighly longer ,so an exhaust from a saloon may not fit,but im sure someone else can clarify that!!!

Great cars the wagons, enjoy if you get one!

I can confirm that they are the same length (well near enough), a full Scoobysport zorst from my old saloon fitted straight on to my newer wagon!

I thought the earlier saloon/wagons had different turbos?
