Re: (mike in SC)
Glad I was able to help by sitting at my computer, and looking at my car as I got into it.

The front springs are red. There must have been some yellow ones we tried, or just sitting in the shop, 'cause I can see them clearly in my memory.
The rear wagon struts and springs are, I believe, stiffer than the ones in other models. The front struts on mine were iffy anyway, and with the turbo the front end could barely stay on the ground and track a straight line. The KYBs are much better than worn-out stock struts, and of course the springs help too.
New tires made a world of difference as well. The old ones were awful; the new ones, Mastercraft Grand Touring ones, are quieter, grippier, smoother... Assuming the struts are decent, maybe get the best tires you can. OTOH, if you're in there anyway, maybe you should do the struts as well.
