    if you have the stock diff in the 92 then 28 spline is what you need.

    31 spline is stronger but you would also need a 31 spline differential, 28 is stock.

    If you are not planning on making any real power, 28 is fine.

    Unless you plan on using slicks or sticky drag radials save your money, you should be fine on 28 splines.
    If you have the cash and plan on racing, you would need the above mentioned parts---31 spline differential (center section of the axle), 31 spline axles and you should consider a diff. cover and C-clip eliminators.
