yes every thing bolts right up. it now has a 02 rear axle, front struts,02 non abs brake system...mine was abs now its not but i still have to get a non abs master cylinder. the one on the 02 is for a manual. i do not have pics of the progress but i can post pics later on of the 02 axle in the 95 and the brakes.

Great news on the rear axle swap. I just picked up an axle from an '00 so I can install the lock right-style locker that shipped from Korea. I figured the 28 spline axle assembly was a direct fit in the 26 spline Sporties. But I've thought that a few times with some other mods, only to find that I was wrong. So how did you disable the ABS? Did you just remove the speed sensors? Is it giving you an ABS light on the cluster? Just curious. Looking forward to the updates... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

abs light is on...oh well...lol. i removed the and replaced with non abs stuff...master cylinder,front calipers,complete rear axle and the first block right after the mc.brakes are really good now.but have notice my frame is bent so i will be using my 2wd frame under it. but i am going to mod it first.going to lower the strut buckets 2" and drop the arms abount an inch. also going to figure out how to drop the whole ifs about 2"...lots of cutting and welding. but its all fun right.
