No. The 3rd and 4th gen Legacys have a multilink setup in the rear (which aren't compatible with each other, or any Impreza suspension).

The first and second gen Legacys are interchangable with the Impreza suspension though.

Oh, I see..What about the any aftermarket strut bar??Will a strut bar be able to fit on a gf bh5 legacy wagon from a gf be5 legacy sedan and vice versa..Does model years play a difference too??

Thanks

BH's and BE's are the same model years, just wagon and sedan, respectively. You generally need a different rear strut bar for wagons unless you want to cut up your interior (most sedan bars won't clear the trim around the suspension towers in the rear).

I was alson wondering whether lowering springs for a legacy wagon could fit the sedan? I've been trying to find lowering springs for my 2001 legacy and it's proving pretty difficult, the only one's I've found are from H&R, and it says its for the wagon, so I was a little curious if it made any difference whether I had the sedan or wagon.
