As far as the four banger... nope- gotta change everything and they came with smaller brakes too. Lot of trouble to get it right! As far as leaning, mine (just bought it) did that til I found a stuck shock on the rear. Mine says Cobra GT on the title and it's an 89... so that don't mean squat. Look at the VIN decoders on the net. Good Luck!
