What's the difference between 1g N/T Suspensions and FWD turbo's?

I've owned three 1g's now going from '91 turbo FWD a/t -->'92 N/T 2.0 a/t --> '93 turbo FWD m/t and trying to figure out exactly what is different on stock suspensions. Had read that spring ratings + factory struts are the same but the turbo cars handle MUCH MUCH bettter and overall just a better car to drive in every way. So what is it

Everything is identical except maybe the rates of the springs and shocks, but i doubt it. The turbo car will be heavier in the front because of the added turbo and heavier transmission.

No what I was saying is I believe stock springs + struts are the same on turbo + N/T 1g's. Handling is definitely better on turbos so I'm ASSuming sway bars are bigger and not sure what else is different but it is quite a difference. And my FWD turbo m/t is only 11 lbs heavier than my N/T a/t so weight isn't it and anyhow when I had a FWD Turbo a/t which was 75-100 lbs heavier than N/T it out classed it in handling by far.

In part would like to know what I coould've done on my N/T to get the same good handling and this would be useful info for N/T guys looking to upgrade their suspensions.
