well, car is almost running, few q's

hey all

well, i have had the car off to a shop to complete the engine swap, have a few questions

did 12a's and 13b's have different air pumps or are they interchangeable? im thinking not

are gsl's and -se have different size brake pads? im trying to get some hawk hp pads and was wondering if i could save a few bucks.

how can you tell if a driveshaft is shot? the one i have on there is and a rebuild is about 200 bucks, was wondering if there was a way to tell when i go to a junkyard.

last thing, im goin to stick with the fc -se 14' wheels until i can save some money up for tires and wheels, and was wondering how much performance i would lose goin to 16' instead of 15', because i want to do that big brake upgrade someday and i know that it needs at least 16' wheels

thanks for the help

Yes, different rotors/calipers and pads between GSL and SE's.

Check for any play in the u joints, and also that they more freely and arent binding/frozen.
