Question Will N/A springs fit my TII??

I have a set of Eibach springs and KYB struts/shocks lying around from my '86 GXL.. I was wondering if I can transfer 'em into my '88 TII.. I mean, the struts/shocks are the same so wouldn't the springs also fit?? I'm not really concern about the spring rate 'coz I don't beat on my car that much.. I just need something better than the stock I have right now until I can get enough money for something better.. What do you think guyz??

Well, it's pretty cold outside and my driveway is not leveled.. If I'm gonna do the transfer, I wanna make sure I won't be wasting my time... And besides, I need the car running as soon as the job is done... Anyone else have any idea???

It all fits.&nbsp Eibach has some clause in the warranty that voids it if not used on the proper application - phooey.

Hey Ted, I think it will fit too myself but what about the spring rate/load? Do you think it will affect driveability? It should be safe right? I mean, no wobbling or shaking, especially at high speeds??

5 lug suspension is 5 lug suspension. A TII and a GXL are so close in weight that it won't make a difference.

I gave my Eibach Pro-Kits from the Turbo II to this vert owner - this is about as bad as you can get.&nbsp I've heard the different between Eibach NA to Turbo II is 5lb/in (which is negliable).&nbsp The vert weights seriously more weight, and the new owner was more than happy they fit and worked!
