So I can install the '94/95 control arms on my '87 with no problems or changes in suspension geometry? This is what I would like to do, already have the parts. Should I also install '94/'95 dust shields when installing '94/'95 brakes on the front?

Did you also update your rear brakes or are you still running the early ones? Looks like there isn't clearance for the late rotors in the rear heat shields, and swapping rear heat shields looks like removing the park brake completely and pulling the hub, ... not sure I need bigger rear brakes that bad.

Thanks Psycho.

The ball joint should not grind if you cut the dust shield. You should be getting the later style regardless though due to the fact the earlier style has less clearance to the bottom of the rotor than with the later style.

I've been running OK with late style rotors + calipers, but I did have to cut the shield completely away at the bottom and there is about 5mm gap between the two. No touching, but it is close.
