Welcome to FTE and the slicks forum. The best and easiest way is to get the parts from the dentside 73 to 79 and swap them in for power disk brake and steering. You can search this forum and find lots of info on this swap.

That actually won't alter your suspension, but will give you power steering and power brakes which doesn't really have much to do with suspension. Is that what you were after?
