Struts are different rate dampers and different mountings to knuckle at the bottom at the front (rears are interchageable), similar inverted style and both prone to seizing/clunking. (WRX wagon has slightly different camber setting to WRX saloon front and rear on earlier versions, not sure if that is still true at 05)
Different spriing rates, STi is stiffer, ride height is the same (WRX wagon has stiffer rear springs than saloon).
ARB is different at the rear, front I believe is the same.
Wishbones etc, not sure.
Find out full info at Subaru IMPREZA G11, Europe ? Subaru parts catalog hi-power turbo is STi.
