Default Difference between newage and classic front wishbones?

Hi guys, are they interchangeable? If not what is the difference? They look the same in pics but its hard to tell and are listed specifically by years.

They are interchangeable, but the newage ones are 15 mm longer (per side) because track is wider. You can fit them to a classic, but your negative camber and caster values will increase quite a lot, I think camber will go to -3 degrees if I recall well...

Oh, and you'll have to change the front bushings because they're longer on new age cars as well.

My references are for alloy arms, I had to do some research when I switched to STi alloy LCA's on my classic.
