so I've been doing a little research here'n'there about this swap because I'm tired of 4x110, and i want a certain set of wheelies. adapter plates are just.........well they're adapter plates and i don't want one to explode into tasty aluminum bits.

my question is: am I right assuming to do a GSL-SE axle swap on my 85 GSL, all I need is -
rear end: axle shafts to slide in place of mine in the axle, new bearings, and rotors?

Front end: bearings, rotors?

my research hasn't brought me to see that i need new calipers and pads.

 

On the rear you need -se axles with backing plates and bearings. Once those are slid in place you will need the -se specific rotors and calipers.

On the front you will need the caliper bracket/backing plate from an -se otherwise the -se caliper will not mount up. You will also need the -se rotors, bearings and calipers.
