Default 5th gen wagon coilovers on a coupe?

would coilovers from a 5th gen wagon fit on my 5th gen coupe? From pictures they look to be about the same height. I know that sedan and coupe suspension are interchangeable. I just need someone to confirm that the wagon shocks are the same as the sedan and coupe.

pictured is off a wagon. Dont the back shocks look abnormally tall?


p.s. buy my mugen grille in sig.

Off a wagon? I'd imagine they are interchangeable, Rears look fine, the springs will compress more and if those are coilovers (possibly?) then they look like they're on the lowest setting

yeah i was just starting to think that they are the same. Yeah those are coilovers. Not looking for a the lowest setting, but i am looking to get a little trimmed off the height on my ride.

I would think they are interchangeable as well but dont think they would settle as low since the car isnt as heavy as the wagon.

What brand is that btw?
