As long as the rear weight is for the same year as the rotating assembly you have (front counter wieght, and rotors), you'll be fine.

you need a 89-91 counterweight. If you had a Non turbo, you could get it from a car that had an auto tranny since those weights were detachable from the drive plate. Turbo rotors don't weigh the same as non-turbo rotors, so I don't know if using a N/A automatic counterweight would work on your car.

Edit

According to mazdatrix, the 89-92 TII and N/A rotors do weigh the same. So you should be able to use the counterweight from a car that had a automatic tranny
