Are there any differences in the spindle mount on 4 cylinder cars? I was thinking about buying the bullitt kit for my brothers 89 but I seem to recall reading that the front mount is different. Can I install the bullitt tokicos?

The shim kit is probably for putting 4cyl struts on a V8, which would work out great for drag racing.
DougNuts said:Yep, I found the website again and sure enough, the v-8s have skinnier mounting locations than the 4 cylinders. Looks like if he decides to keep it, we'll just upgrade to SN95 spindles.

mmartin6 said:Just a word of advice, yes as every one is stating the mounting tab area is thinner on the V8 spindels then on the 4 cyl. spindles. I am doing this swap currently. Also I ran it a problem with the new struts I'm installng. I'm installng new KYB GR2 struts and the one hole is slightly off. This is very frustrating.
