The fronts are the same for sedan + wagon, but the rears are stiffer. I'd be a little skeptical about wagon springs from the boneyard, since the newest wagon out there is 15+ years old. News springs aren't that pricey.

As part of your suspension upgrade, make sure you renew bushings front + rear. Needy locations include the aft A-arm bushings up front; in the rear, torque rods, forward trailing arms, and Panhard rod bushings. Use urethane wherever you can, within reason.
