The fact that they use the same part number for all year Fieros makes me very suspicious about what exactly they are supplying for the front.

Thats a pipe dream for the front of an 84-87 Fiero as it's not just a bolt-in solution. You will need significant work to have coilovers on the front for those years. The rears are very much doable.

Unless of course I am missing something?

Thanks for the info guys. I have had ground control on the car, currently have a pair of speedway sleeves and springs on KYB's that have had the perch taken off with a lathe. Want something a little less home made. The front is just eibach springs, stock shocks. I'll probably take the plunge on these and document everything.

Before you drop a grand on this, ask them for some pictures of the actual parts they will sell you for a Fiero. Or even better, pictures of the parts actually installed on a Fiero.

There is no bolt in solution for the front. The front suspensions are completely different for the 84-87 and 88, so there is little change the same kit will work for both.

The rear with the same part #, even though the 84-87s have a different bolt pattern at the strut vs. the 88 is also suspicious. Add to that the option for a camber plate is another red flag.

They might be legit, but they would have to provide me with a lot more info before I dropped $1K with them.
