Default Rear suspension from a uk turbo to sport

So need rear shocks done on a classic Saloon non turbo I've just bought.

Found a set off a turbo Saloon, I'm 90% sure it's a straight swap?

Thanks for reply. Right ok. I had a non turbo as my first Impreza and replaced rear shock and spring with one off a turbo. Didn't notice any difference.

Saying that the reason for the change was the previous owner had broken the spring and decided to use a clamp to clamp the spring together. Crazy lol

Just wanted to check as there loads of rears off turbo Impreza's but barely any for non turbo models.
