A
1. Suspension dated in my opinion, heavy front end, no bottom end, date all together.
2. No j arms are the only really major differences btw years.
3. J arm s are terrible they are very weak I got hit by a 300ex (not too fast) and it twisted the j arn in half I was surprised how weak it was.
4. Not sure whay they are more expensive on the west coast but I think if you wait it out you will find a good deal. Ask around tell your buddies but don't by an 87 for more tha 1500 even if it is in really good shape.
