Red face another newbie

I've been lurking about on this and other forums, and I would like a little more info on 1st brake upgrades. So far I've seen the $2k kit and heard about GSL-SE suspension swaps. I also read an article about a swap from an FC. My car is an '83 and Iwould like to know if there is any particular trim level that I should use as a donor car to keep cost and fabrication to a minimum. Five lugs would be nice, but four is not a deal breaker.

to keep it simple just do a GSL-SE swap. they will give you the 4x114 bolt pattern so you can use basicly any rim in 4 lug you want.

there is no fab req. direct swap.
