Default size + mounting differences 82-92 and 93-02

So - am I correct that an 82-92 rear housing and a 93-02 housing would swap
with respect to:
lower arms, panhard rod,tq arm, d/shaft and shock/spring mounts?

Is the physical difference that 93-02 hangs a few inches past the mounts to the caliper bracket?

Since all the parts are the same aftermarket - I am assuming this.
Are the chassis and suspension mounts in the relative same locations and geometry? Just wider on the ends with different brakes?

That said - an 82-92 housing would be a bolt in narrowed rear for a 93-02?

82-92 camaro rear is 4" narrower than 4th gen rears.


for instance 15x10 rims would be:
82-92 5.5" bs
93-02 7.5" bs

or 2" shorter per side.

so - the mounts and angles are the same?

could tub a 4th gen in 2" and run a 3rd gen rear with like a 12" slick I'm thinking...
