Default 87-88 turbo coupe rear in 85 LX?

I would like to put a 87-88 turbo coupe rear in my 85 LX, but have the following questions. 1, are these 4 or 5 lug? 2, what do i need to do to have rear disc brakes work properly? 3, if i remember these do not have mounts for quad shocks, if so do i fab up mounts or just go without? 4, if they are 5 lug, can i use rotors from same car on mine? Thanks for your help, Todd.

1. 4 lug 2. MC, PV, line adaptors and e brake cable. 3. you have to drill your quad shock mount 2 inches lower.
