95 850 non-turbo suspension overhaul + interchangeability

Hi everyone, I have a 1995 850 manual 5 speed non turbo sedan that I picked up for an absolute steal. 190k miles and it only needed a clutch and radiator as far as I can tell. Thanks to this website I got both of those done pretty painlessly (thanks!). Now that the immediate stuff is out of the way;...
