Will S5 Strut Bar fit S4 ?

I'm in the process of buying a used Cusco Strut Bar for my '87 FC for a good price, but I'm a little stumped. The seller says it was pulled off a '89 13BT. I dont wanna pass on a sale like this, but don't know if it will fit or not. I would ask the seller, but I trust fourm members more then someone trying to get a few bucks real quick. Any help. suggestions are greatly appreciated.

No difference in strut towers. Same thing.

Example: 86-92 Strut Tower Braces

Mounting is the same. However, S4's require slightly difference clearance than S5's due to the nipple that connects the filler neck to the overflow tank. I have the cusco front bar on my s4 and it is a pretty tight fit. Just make sure you route the throttle cable under the overflow tube.

edit: Also, the only time I've heard of a strut bar interfering was because it was a generic ebay bar.

Thanks for the heads up.
