what would i do with a gsl se diff? as i understand it the axle lengths are different from gsl to gslse, the bolt pattern is definitly different, id still likely have needed bearings
are the axles interchangeable between gsl an gslse rear?

all i found interesting on the car you speak of was the tails and drivers side door

I think he was talking about swapping in the whole rear axle, which is a direct bolt in. Thus giving you the strongest FB rear end, and the more common bolt pattern of 4x114.3

I would recommend just getting moser axles from respeed. They are stronger than stock SE axles.

They also sell all the kits to get the big brakes on her.
