Turbo Springs on an N/A for lowering?
Greetings all. I've got an 86 n/a, and I heard that getting a set of springs off a turbo is a good way of lowering the car slightly for not much money. Is this true? If this is true, anybody know where I can get a set for sale that isn't too old? Thanks a lot!

Springs are designed more for the weight of the car, and the only exception would be the convertibles, which weigh slightly more than the coupes.  The Base models run different design shocks, so the springs might not be compatible.

Funny thing all the manufacturers are worried about the extra weight on the vert, so all their spring applications say (EXCEPT CONVERTIBLE).  I sold my old set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs off my 1987 Turbo II to a guy who owned a 1988 vert - he installed them with no problem, and handling was a lot better than stock.  No problems with the added weight.  From that experience, I'd say go for it...
