This site has spring and shock rates for each option by year:http://corvetteactioncenter.com/tech/c4/susp_chart.html
In 1988, the front suspenson geometry changed to a zero scrub design and that was a reeason for the difference in wheel offset between 84-87 cars (38mm) and the 88-96 cars (56mm for the 9.5x17 wheel).
There may have been design changes in the knuckle at that time. For the wheel hub, a 91 Firebird hub can be used in place of the Corvette hub for some of the models by drilling out the threads in the hub mounting flange. There is a Tech Tip about this mod.

84-87 fronts cannot be interchanged with 88-96 front.
Some rear parts will work for all years, like shocks & springs, but the whole thing can be interchanged if you want to spend the money.
