There is no question that the sub-frames are the same as a 4k and the urq
rear is the front turned around.
As far as the strut housings go, the fronts may be similar to the type 43
turbo, but the rears are not fronts from any vehicle.

When my car goes back together, the sub-frames will be from an '87 4kq.

    From what I've read, the front  suspension was from the first generation
200 turbo. They then turned it around backwards and modified it for use on
the rear of the urq.
The 4kq suspension is much less stout.
