Is there any parts that can be swaped to a 84 gs that are better. I already put a gsl rear and tranny in it. does any other 1st gen have better suspension parts or brake parts
|
the gsl-se has bigger brakes, but its a lot more work than its worth.

Most of the 1st gen stuff is pretty much the same, except for the SE. You are basically gonna have to go with aftermarket products. Get polyeurathane(sp?) bushings throughout and you will be surprised. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

The work is considerable. You have to change the complete suspension. The front struts and all. If I'm not mistaken, you also have to use the SE brake booster also. I have been told that it's different from the non-SE booster. Not real positive on that though.

yea I dont know if I want to go through all that. I think I am going with Tokico hp's and Rb springs and sway bars, also polyurathane bushings. I already have hp's in the rear and the aftermarket end links when I did my rear swap. for the brakes I am using hawk pads and ss brake lines https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

the gsl and gsl-se brake master and boosters are the same, but you still have to swap struts in the front, and the rear rotors, axles, backing plates, and calipers. the actual axle housing is the same as a gsl

Don't forget a strut bar, Buckaroo

mike A SE swap is worth it for many reasons.. Bigger brakes....and easier to find rims for.. I payed $150. for my front SE set up..still on the cross memeber.... calipers...rotors....struts..springs.etc..etc.. 84/85 all models use the same booster... SE master is diffrent..and I payed $40. for mine with a life time warrenty.. I havent found a rear end yet...but they usally go for $200. locally So thats.. 150.. for the front set up.. 40.....for the master 200...for the rear..... /100 for the braided hoses.. I wil say another 100 for extras.. Thats abotu $500. and you have a bigger rbake set up..that mos people pay 3k for ...so its worth it to me.. A GSL rear is not the same as a SE... diffrent calipers... diffrent pads... diffrent rotors... http://mazdatrix.com/j-2brake.htm |
Shoot Fire, Son....
Why add SE parts to a GS, when you can have one of mine for $3 K, or maybe less if you convince me you'll be good to her.... Denny |
