The parts will fit, but you will end up with 'butt sag' as the rear of the wagon is quite a lot heavier than the rear of the saloon, this also has the down side of increasing understeer slightly as it drops the rear roll centre at the same time.

Obviously the stiffer the spring, the less this effect will be, but be aware of it, some places in the US sell 1/4 and 1/2" sapcers to alleviate this, but not sure if they are available in classic fitement or just newage.

P1 springs and dampers work really well on a wagon, no issue with rideheight either, you'll find it sits almost perfectly level.
