There's a possibility that they could be 28 spline but more than likely it's only 26. 28 spline were standard in 90 so it just depends on where your car was on the assembly line. If it was made at the end of the year it could have 28 splines.

The only way to know is to check. My 89 RS TBI had 26 spline axles.
