If you get the rear end, get the front strut/brake assemblies as well to match.. on the interior, the electrical switches; power windows, etc.

The front strut/towers/hubs.
All the mag wheels.
rear hubs w/axle.

Every 12A powered RX-7 needs the better wheels/brakes.

Oh...and the engine

Ok so the rear end is obvious... but the front brake assemlies are better on a GSL-SE? I thought they were the same?

Power windows and swithces is a good one.

The mag wheels... what do these look like again...? I can't find the thread with all the wheel pics!

And the engine u say? I know its a 13b... I don't know much about the SE's, but are these 6port? I know the rebuild prices are a bit higher on the SE''s.

There has gotta be more than this?

Also make sure and get:

Fuel Pump
Engine (if it is bad still get it for parts.)
Turn signal wiper switches. (Under steering wheel)
Windsheild wiper rack.
Traney.
Gas Tank
Starter

Thats all I can think of.

Both Igniters - they are easy to take off too...they are small and only held in place by two screws each.

The front brakes are a must. The braking system is designed to work as a whole. If you upgrade only the rear, the fronts will be too weak.
