78 may or may not have the lower strut braces and perhaps a few had the upper braces and R sport springs. Few 78's though have suspensions to get excited about.
79s (best year by far) have the upper braces, R sport springs, heavy (23 mm) rear swaybar and no rear wheel wells (like the 78 but with updated rear lights) that gave the car great handling and spiffy looks.
80s have turbo bars, regular springs and rear wheel wells, bah, boring.
US GTs had the B cam as I recall, nothing special. Canadian GTs might have a K, A or H cam I believe.
