Heya, I was just wondering if the rear suspension was the same across the base hatchback and/or sedan? I'm not sure if they all share the same trailing arms and what not. I'm aware the speed3's thicker sway bar but unsure of what else. Just as a general question inquiring about if their rear arms are the same across the platform. I've checked the parts diagram and they do have different P/N's but seeing the physical appearance of them, I see no difference. Maybe someone could chime in?

Planning to buy bushings from psbushings since it's more than half the price than superpro. Site doesn't entirely specify hatchback or sedan but does have one for the thicker sway bar which gives me confidence. I know the whole shpeel of quality for what you pay for but I feel poly would still be better than rubber, and I can't seem to find anyone else who's tried them either on this forum so I thought I'd give it a shot. Worst case is I buy new set of poly bushings from superpro. Nothing feels wrong in the car, but it's a 2007 model year and it's just something I'm looking into preventative.

I have also reached out to their contact email aswell. But still wondering what others know about the interchange of hatchback and sedan models.
