2.5RS/WRX suspension

Anybody know if the 2002-current 2.5RS has the same suspension setup as WRX 2002-current?

If so, are the shocks / springs interchangable? as well as the swaybars/bushings/arms/etc?

thanks!

by the part numbers the springs and shocks are the same for the wrx and rs. the only difference is the rear sway bar. the RS has the 13mm and the wrx has a 20mm. overall the suspensions are interchangeable.
