Links or instructions on SE suspension swap?

Does anyone know where I can find a write up on doing the SE suspension swap on my GSL? I've searched archives and whatnot and can't find any solid instruction on how to do it exactly. Well at least the fastest method in which to do it.

Thanks

The swap is very easy, Support the car on stands and use the jack to take the weight off the rear, you will need a 1/2 drive set. It is truley like less then 15 bolts to get it out, Put it back in reverse.

Dont froget to disconnect the Break line on the car and take of the e-break cable.

Sound like ur talking about only the rear. I mean front and rear. And i meant something that goes step by step so it saves me time from doing things in the wrong order etc.

Thanks v8killer. Not at detailed as I would have liked but great nonetheless! I have a question....i know the brake rotors are different....but are the brake pads interchangeable?

Front is even easier. 4 nuts up top, two bolts in the bottom, press down pull out. I pulled a set from an SE two weeks, Have them for sale in the parts section.


the two bottem bolts are hard to see. But if you get under there you will see them 17mm I think.

Should not, The GSL has Disk brakes already and the cables looked the same to me.
