320 Touring back end will drop straight in, less springs, but you will need handbrake cables as well.
Front struts (again, less springs), would be a usefull upgrade as well.
You'd get the thicker, stronger 53mm struts and the vented discs.
Hardest part of the job will be dealing with the rear beam bushes (which you should renew), and getting off the front part of the handbrake cables.
