Default 86 NA Strut and the 86 Turbo Strut

I have a Paragon Koni coilover for my 86 NA that I am selling locally. I have just been asked if they will fit the 86 Turbo. Are they a direct bolt-on? Is there any safety concern?

The Turbo strut is a sealed unit, the NA is a serviceable unit. I am not sure if this affects any of it structural integrity.

Thanks for any help.

Will not fit, spindles are different so the lower strut mount holes won't align.

Thanks for the reply. I know that the 87 spindles are different with the ABS, but are the 86 Turbos different as well?

86 turbo spindles are different from 86na spindles, different strut mounting.
All 87+ spindles are different from all 86- spindles, different circumference bearing. Also, the hubs are different on 87+ models, modified for abs.

Hope that helps
