Re: Rear Axle Swap
The so-called 1LE rear is far more desirable because of the alum PBR calipers and the 11.7" rotors. The appropriate 1LE combination valve would be a bolt-in and the parking brake wouldn't be an issue.
Either way, if the gear ratio is different than the one in your car, you'll have to swap drive and/or driven gears in to make the speedo read correctly.
