I have an 80 ghia that has been 5 lug swapped, 5.0 swapped, the front suspension is all from a donor 91..

question is, is body the deciding factor to which years c/c plates? or is it the struts that decided the year?

this may be a stupid question... i just dont want to order the wrong ones...

also do the lrs strut tower brace's work with mm plates?

thanks

I don't know the answer but I do know that I have an 86 and a 91 and they are noticeably different.

I wanna say it's the actual shock tower holes that are different. I can't remember what the year change is though.

SOME COMPANIES DO 87-90 AND 91-93. I KNOW WHEN I GOT ONES FOR MY 90 I WAS TOLD TO GET THE RITE ONES BUT DONT REMEMBER WHY?(SORRY CAPS off)

the holes are different sizes. the 87-89s with cc plates the holes are big enough for you to get it like 6 degrees of negative caster, my 90-93 though with cc plates the holes only allow me up to about 4.5 degrees. the holes for the caster adjustment are different sizes. if you did 87-89s youd have to grind out more of the hole for shock adjustment
