5 Lug Swap Question!!!

ok... i have an 87 se and an 88 gxl. what i am wondering is can i take the complete control arm(the 5 lug setup, the brakes, and the whole arm) from the gxl and bolt it onto my se? i am already planning on taking the LSD out of the gxl for my se so the stuff will already be disconnected, i just need to know if it will bolt in? also, the front end, will those control arms from the gxl fit on the SE??? thank you in advance

To make it all work properly in the conversion you will also need the GXL brake booster as well as the hard lines from the master cylinder to the front wheel wells. The rear brakes are the exact same units on both cars except for the lug pattern. Took me a long time to figure out why my car didn't stop right after I did the swap.
