HELP 87 up spindels will NOT bolt up the my 86!

[accidentprone86]

God damn son of a bitch every ****in thing is going wrong today!

I am trying to put on 87 up front spindels on my car for 11 inch rotors and for 73mm calipers but their mounting geometry is different from the 86.

The two big bolt holes are further apart then the 86's so it wont bolt to the shock.
it just dosnt fit, WTF, i really need some help!! What else do i need???
Why dont they bolt up?
Please help i have such little time for this kind of **** and this is my only car.

physically the spindles will bolt up the a arms without issues, but you're right indeed the struts will not. I do know that to put 87 struts on 86 spindles, you can use washers or so, but not sure about using 86 struts on 87 spindles. If this is your only roadblock, go to autozone and pick up some $20 gabriel struts just to get you on the road while you research what strut you want to use. You should update to the newer 87+ style strut. there is quite a lot of info out there on this swap, search here and the corral.
