Default lower arms newage to classic?

I have been looking at upgrading the lower arms on my 97 turbo 2000 to the STI alloy type.
My question is would the bugeye STI arms fit as they appear to look the same but wasnt sure on dimensions fittings etc anyone have any idea?

Bump on this as I've got a classic shell and a pile of Newage bits and it would be handy to know if they're compatible (shell and parts are at 2 different locations).

Yes they do fit. I fitted them on my 97 classic over a year ago but you need to change the inner bushes for classic ones as the gap in the classic front subframe is smaller.I just fitted powerflex ones .I also flipped the rear mount and fitted a 6mm stainless shim for loads of castor.You will need adjustable top mounts to correct the massive increase in camber,but i already had these with my AST's.These arms are also longer and give an increase in front track width . I already had adjustable rear lateral links to increase rear track so as to even things up.
