Default blobeye wagon/saloon suspension differences/conversion

Hi all,
Looking to put some nice sporty suspension on my 05 blobeye wagon,

Normally not an issue just buy some for a wagon.... However after a wishbone failure a couple of months ago I have a saloon front end, (alloy wishbones, anti roll bar, drop links) which I know is 10mm wider each side.

So assumption is that a saloon front suspension setup will be what I need for the front... But what about the rear?

Does saloon rear suspension bolt straight up to the wagon? What are the differences, if any? And can the wagon rear be converted to take saloon rear suspension if there is a difference?

Prob looking at coilovers if that makes a difference.

Cheers.

I've just fitted the Meister R coil overs to my 2005 WRX wagon, with no problems so far, they've been on for about 600 miles and 4 weeks. There may be some left in the group buy. I'm very happy with them, they suit my driving well.
