Default Hawkeye wagon suspension fit a blob?

Hello Chaps,
  1. As the title states, will Hawkeye wagon suspension fit a blob saloon? Mine are leaking on the rear and I've been offered Hawkeye wagon suspension all round. Just not sure if the shockers are a suitable fit or not? Thanks for your help.

No I don't think they are. @2pots will know for sure. But I'm very confident they won't. Just buy new rears instead, getting more used ones is pointless really.

Yeah I agree pal probably not the best idea to buy second hand, I just can't seem to find brand new complete shockers. Ones that are complete with the springs ready to be bolted on.

Cheapest option is to buy rear struts and swap everything over. If your worried about taking your head off sure garage will do it for you. Hours Labour.

You can buy complete kits, cost more though, as you don't need the front struts I'd buy 2 KYB rears. Is it WRX?

Wagon struts are stiffer to cope with the extra weight over the rear so I wouldnt recommend on a saloon or vice versa
