I havent seen any online for the wagons. Did some research and called h&r. Call there customer service number and ask for ryan. See what he says. I have a sedan, you may need to go with wrx components.

seem like these could fit. i think you should call this website, or maybe both just to verify. it will save you the hassle.

The springs for the sedan should physically fit as long as they're for the correct application. Since the wagon is a little heavier in the rear, you might get a saggy rear end with sedan springs, but more than likely, they'll be fine.

Those springs u looked at should fit fine. I believe J code meant that it's the BJ code that's for the first gen legacy wagons. Besides, those intrax springs also specifically made for 91 and up legacy wagons, so u should be good to go.

Nice input, I was thinking 16's with a 2in drop, but 17's clear and do you have wheel spacers?

Never had coilovers on any of my rides before, I couldnt tell you. I can imagine it won't be as plush as stock, but that's to be expected.
