F/R Springs 200

Greetings all,

A couple of quick questions on springs:

Do the 240 Turbo sedans and the NA 240 sedans use the same springs? How different is the spring rate for the rear springs from a 240 wagon? I've got a set of rear springs from a 92 244 (40K miles), and another from a 91 245 (121K miles)--trying to decide which should go in my 83 turbo (max load is 2-3 people + luggage + OEM hitch with yakima rack and 2 mt bikes).

Thanks in advance!

    On my '86 240 DL daily driver I replaces the sagging stock springs with a set from an '85 wagon from the junkyard.

    These do firm up the rear end, but the right spring is giving my "sproing" noise over speed bumps.
