    I have lots of low mile stuff on my 01 GTP I'm scrapping and I just bought an 04 with all the front end stuff worn out. I was thinking of throwning everything on from the top of the shock down to the control arms. Then since the control arms are slightly different, taking my nice thick swaybar and end links from the 01 and putting them in there. Any reason to not do this? Like clearance on something? Or perhaps 04's swaybar design is supposed to be better in a way?

    if you wanna use 97-03 struts, on a 04, you need the LCA change over too
    its been done several times, probably many threads.
