5 lug swap and then some

well i found a source for my 5 lug swap parts... TII front calipers/hub/rotor/etc. and the entire TII rear end (assembled) including subframe, swaybar, halfshafts, Limited slip Diff (yay!), calipers, hubs, rotors, and all... also 4 TII wheels

so my question is on the rear, i should i just swap the entire assembly in instead off swap in the brake parts, sway bar, and diff. all seperate right?

You will need to do something about the driveshaft in order to swap in the whole rear end.

To answer your questin Yes tha would be the esiest way to do everything but like mwatson184 said you need the driveshaft also ot you wont be able to instal the lsd.

in order to use the turbo rear diff a custom drive line will be required!,

as the problem is a turbo rear diff has a larger front flange than an NA and a na has a smaller trany spine size than a turbo.
