4th gen compatibility

My friend is parting out his 4th gen and I was wondering what parts I can use in my 3rd gen. I will probally be stealing the rear and t56 from it but can I use the coils? (If I understand correctly you can use the rears but not the front?) what else would be usefull to grab?

Pretty much the whole rear suspension, except possibly the torque arm.

Also consider taking the aluminum driveshaft, if equipt.

Seats are a direct bolt-in, steering wheel, floor mats. Dash, center console but needs modded. Also the door panels can be modded to replace yours.

If taking the rear end, make sure to get the E-brake cables in tact up to the tunnel connector. If it's a post 1997 car, you'll need 16in wheels for the LS1 rear disc brakes. The wheels are bolt on, except you'll need spacers for the fronts.

There's a large thread on "4th gen compatibility" - do a search on it - there's alot I don't remember.
