From handling these, but not comparing them to each other, I think you are correct here on a "base" C2 or C4, but the Turbo and C4S use a different upright, so I think all of that is different there.

Either way, the damping values are all different, so even if they did fit, and you swapped springs to the correct rate, it's still not going to be a good setup.

Likewise, you could use 996 C2 front bits, but not C4, C4S, or Turbo bits.

The whole thing is a bad idea.
