4th gen suspension question
i recently picked up a 95 z that im going to strip the motor, tranny, rear end, front spindles, brake setup, etc... to use in my third gen.
other than the front spindles and brakes, what else can i use from the front suspension/chassis? I have new sways and endlinks, so i wont need those.
i know the rear is wider, but will everything bolt up on my third gen?

Re: 4th gen suspension question
Can't use the front spindles at all, and the brakes aren't a bolt-on to your existing ones. Basically nothing up front will interchange directly.
Rear however, everything does. You'll probably want to keep your existing sway bar back there. Probably want to keep your springs. But the rear, with its brakes, might be a worthwhile swap out.
Sway bar bushings and end links are chicken feed... about like talking about which spark plugs to keep when swapping to a new engine. If you touch em, replace em.

Re: 4th gen suspension question
What Sofa said is right (duh) but I just wanted to add that the 95 rear ends are slightly wider than the proceeding LS rear ends. The 4'th gen and Corvette wheels fit better on the rear end you have than the later LS rears. However the LS rears have arguably the better brake setup.
