gxl and base model

I have a runing base model, and a GXL with a blown engine.

I am swaping the brakes, rear diff, and active suspention over to the base model.

Is theret any other performance parts from the gxl i should swap?

Assuming you're doing the full 5-lug swap, then I can't think of any performance related things to switch over.
