the 83-86 front spindles or different than the 87-93 spindles so the struts will not fit your car. The rear shocks however will fit.

dude.. that was you wasnt it? lol.. sorry man i have just been crazy busy with work and working on my car. yes i did hear back from them and the guy changed his mind on selling it. they are gonna put a 460 in it and turn it into a straight drag car only, wich i can see happening cause they have a old scool funny car/23 t-bucket type thing that has a 392 hemmi with a blower on it that runs like low 9's. so yeah, they still got it but it's not for sale anymore. sorry i forgot to pm you.

they won't just bolt on, think the yoke part that slips over the spindle is a differnt thick ness
i have had them side beside before and they won't just fit , you need to stay with 85 back
or think they will fit up to 93 with 4 cyl cars too
if you have a 85 back you need to up grade to the 86 's as that helps stop that thing too also
will lower the car slightly too !
