welcome to thirdgen.org
its always good to run a search to try and see if you can find the information first.
anyway basic install is pretty easy since its a thirdgen rear going into a thirdgen.
make sure you have the car supported right before you start anything.
once you get the old one out, the new one goes in the same way.
the difference would be that you need the proportioning valve from the donor car most likely for proper braking.
i would think the e-brake cables are a bit different that go to the rear end, so you would most likely need to get that from the donar car also.
