GSL-SE suspension link points on rear end
I thought I read somewhere that the GSL-SE rears had the lower link mounting point 20mm or so lower than the 12A cars from the same years, and this helped with the exta torque of the 13B. Is this true? I have found in Mazda literature (and Road&Track review from the time) that the frame end of the lower links was lowered 20mm in all '84 - '85 FB's (compared to the S1 and S2 cars). But I can't find the GSL-SE specifics now.

Mazda moved the links for all the 84-85 cars, or to be more specific the lower link front pivot got lowered, everything else is the same. it is all 84-85's, not just the GSL-SE

I thought I read that somewhere, but I don't know where. I'm getting ready to have a rear built, and want to make sure I have all the right specs for an SE car. This is the only thing I'm not sure about.

To be clear, I know all '84 & '85 cars had the body-end of the lower link moved, compared to earlier cars. But was the axle-end also lower on SE cars?
