Default Wagon springs different?

I was going to get some prodrive springs from Scoobyparts - £130 offer - but the advert said that they weren't suitable for wagons- first time I've read that the wagon had a different set-up.

Can someone confirm?

Many thanks
Richard.

I fitted Blobeye JDM Saloon STi shocks and Eibach springs to my Bugeye wagon. I had to buy Blobeye rear top mounts but they went straight on

That's Blobeye Rear Top Mounts. About "cough" £120 from Subaru. There are two types so be careful.

Thanks guys - that fits with what I'd heard elsewhere- in that the rear tops don't fit out of the box.

If you buy the right year parts they fit.........but later springs/earlier cars or vice versa (swap was 05MY) will mean new tophats and trying to get them to fit.

Standard springs are different between wagon and saloon, but only one type of Prodrive.
