Question Suspension Cost

Was at the local salvage yard this past weekend looking for GSL parts and stumbled (literally) onto a couple second gens. What is the suspension in these worth, mainly the rear suspension. I'm thinking transplant into my 85' (don't want to look for 110x4 anymore)

Yes I know that my car is a little skinny compaired to these that I've found but I know people to cure this problem.

Just want some info.

Thanks,
Eric

Non-turbo stuff is worth dirt.

If it's off a Turbo II, it's worth money.

Typically...
Rear diff - $100 to $300
Rear axles - $75 to $100 EACH

Springs are the same, sway bars are different.

The turbos have larger diameter sway bars. They interchange just fine, except you need the bushings and brackets. I have aftermarket springs and adjustable shocks on my 102k base, a friend of mine has a TII, same year with 167k, all origional, and his 7 still corners flatter than mine.
