Should be exactly the same. U can call a local parts store and see what they refence just to be sure before u pay for it. I think for 80 bucks plus ur core u can get a brand new re man one.... Or something close. May check into that before u risk a used part from a car older than urs.

MM plates are the best/easiest to align a car with. the bump steer kit will help but is not necessary

I used FRPP cc plates and have used bbk cc plates. I actually like how the bbk's worked a bit better but loved the way the frpp ones looked. Bump steer is not needed but would be noticable if u do it, and might as well as ur going to need a new alignment anyway. Do BOTH offset bushing on the rack so it sits properly. Might want to think about struts and shocks while ur in there and its all apart anyway. With sportlines and old struts, ur on borrowed time.
