I have two 123 wagons, a '79 (with '85 turbo engine) and an '85 Federal. I've always wondered why the '79 feels tighter and handles better than the '85, and felt that the springs in the '79 are stiffer. Are you saying the non turbo springs are stiffer or have a different spring rate?
I've even thought about finding some alternative springs and replacing the ones in the '85 it just feels too soft.
