quick dumb ????for the 02-03 wagon owners

is the wagon a gda body style? i know the sedan is not to sure about the wagon....reason i am asking is if the suspension are the same on the sedan vs wagon?....meaning will coilovers on a sedan fit on a wagon? Thanks in advance

oh and yes i did a search and i got shady answers (what do you think i'm a rookie)

The wagon comes with beefier springs in the rear to compensate for the added weight.

Coilovers made for the sedan will fit on a wagon, but it is suggested that you get coilovers designed for the wagon.

yes, coilovers for a sedan WILL FIT on a wagon. i bought the JIC Magic FLT-A1 for the GDA chassis and installed it myself with no problems watsoever. good luck.

wagon is considered a GGA for the 02-03 body style. for the 04 it should be GGA-C

for coilovers as stated it should physically fit but the rear suspension springs will be beefier if you buy wagon suspension vs sedan suspension.

Only problem I know of using sedan parts on a wagon is the camber issues. You probably have enough adjustment in coilovers to cancel that out but if you want a lot of negative camber for autocross or something, you might want to keep that in mind. I just always hear of people wanting more negative camber. But a lot of those comments are from people with spring/shock combos so the case may be different with coilovers. (camber plate+camber bolt adjustment vs. only camber bolt for spring/shock)

I don't think I know what that is. I believe I've heard of it; maybe over on Japanparts.com, but I never knew what it was.
