stock for stock.....it can't happen. You need to do an FC suspension/brake conversion.

The only FC wheels that will directly swap to a 1st gen are the 4 bolt Phone Dial wheels and they only fit the SE's. Any other swaps need the front brake conversion, rear axle conversion, then the offset of the 2nd gen wheels may not even be correct.

not necesarilly is an "fc" suspension upgrade needed- if four lug you can use the suspension from a gsl-se if 5 lug you can get the hub and rotor assemblies from the second gen

You are correct but he said SA so in that case stock for stock literally cannot happen. But if you did do the gsl-se swap then of course the fitment will work.
