          3rd gen stuff will work, as far as I know.

                Everything bolts right up.....minus the parking brake...that you have to use a little engineering on. Then you will have to run a set of 4thgen wheels on the rear too....because it's 2 inches wider.

                        Everything is drop out and bolt up jon, you will need to replace or "engineer" that brake line as I was telling you and remove the elctronics of the 4th gen rear. But other then that it should be simple, and like stated above it will be 2 inches wider and you will need to run 4th gen rims (I believe) so that means someone named Darrenscamaro can take the ones you have on your car now...

                            Your wheels? Yes they will bolt up, but they will stick out like a mofo. Please don't do that, it looks aweful.
