Oh yeah one more thing, I think the Boge Turbo gas shocks come in the correct length with the spacer attached......
Who can confirm what kind of struts/shocks came stock on the '85 245 Turbo?

Well, when I replaced the ones in my '84 wagon at 98K miles (so I'm
assuming they were original), they were powder blue, had "Volvo" stamped
on them, and had exactly the same part # as the pair of Boge TurboGas
struts that went in place of them. The ones on my 242T have been replaced,
so I can't compare them.
I've also heard of DeCarbons being used on the Turbo 240s. I wonder if
it's a Wagon/Sedan issue like the sway bars, year to year, or option?
