headlamps will they fit/suspention 244 turbo verses 240DL 200 1985

I have seen them kludged on, they don't look right unless you put the whole front clip on. They put out crap for light also, you are much better to go with H-1 high beams with a relay on the 4 lamp system. 100w high beams and you can see a rabbit in the road 1/4 mile away, use them wisely and with courtesy however. You can also source E-Code lights from europe, I just got a couple of sets for my '84s.

The only difference in the turbos is the sway bars, 23/21mm for sedans as opposed to 19/16 for NA sedans. A good upgrade for the budget minded that don't want to drop $300 for ipd, the ipd is quite a bit flatter however. They also have a bit different valving on the shocks/struts I've heard. The '790 GT has a 23mm bar on the back that works well with the 23mm front turbo bar and some (not all) GTs have stiffer springs, they don't lower the car but provide a much sportier ride. Some have only sport front springs some have both front and rear, I forget the years however.
