Re: 89 rear in 84

Brake line fittings will be the only difference...SAE & Metric.

Not even that: 84 was the 1st year for metric.

Totally plug-n-play.

More about the SAE and metric combination valves below:

If the car is equipped with the old style iron combination valve, you'd be well advised to double check thread type.
