2002 WRX suspension

Will any suspension items from a 2002 WRX fit the BRZ? I just picked up an 02 WRX with some nice coil overs and was wishful thinking it would be nice if they fit my car. I've heard our rear suspension is from the wry so I was curious.

The 2002 WRX uses macpherson struts in the rear while our cars use a multi link setup. I'm not sure about the front but I think they are different as well.

I think the front struts are the same design but they are installed at a lower angle and must be different specification if only because the front axle weights are different.
