Best overall model for S5 T2 swap?
I am curious as to what you guys think is the best model for a 350rwhp T2 from an S5. I will be using the T2 tranny, driveshaft, but will need the LSD, discs all around, and as you can see, I have an SE now, and do not want to lose any major things that mine has. I dont like the SA, period.. just IMO, so plz don't suggest it. The model has to have a moonroof, discs all around, LSD, and a good bolt pattern. Like, for example.. a GSL would better than an SE, because it is lighter, but is it better from any other standpoints?

yeah I know that, but I mean, is there a model out there that has what I want, with the lightness of a non SE?
I've heard that a GSL has lsd, and discs .. I need more opinions

The GSL-SE is not that much heavier than a GSL anyway. The suspension is much better, something you'll need for that power your going to add.
The only model that has a moonroof, discs all around, and a good bolt pattern is the GSL-SE.
When I did my car I started off with a GS, and now my car is a GSL-SE without the power windows and sunroof.

.. I've been reading up a lot about the history, and the SE beats the T2 for skidpad because they dropped the trailing arms 20mm, and had a 0.88g skidpad rating. Yeah.. its gonna be an SE me thinks
I can always lighten a bit here n there, thats easier than adding $$$ parts that I need

the reason the GSL-SE is heavier is because it's BETTER. Bigger, sturdier everything that counts. Larger wider wheels, bigger brakes, beefier suspension.. just plain good.
And the other reason is stuff you can remove (standard sunroof, A/C, power steering, decked out everything).
