2. Will they fit my05wrx wagon?
3. Will I still have full adjustment, unlike other sedan coilovers, when I install them on my wagon?

I am lucky enough to have the DNAs on my car for the last 3 weeks...all is good.
Better handling then my factory STI struts/Prodrive springs.
The ride is alittle stiffer then the Prodrives (which are known for a real soft ride)....but not much.
Good upgrade for not that much $$$

They are one and the same, right?

Sorry for newb questions.
