200th post, so new pic. Please keep us informed on the swap. I'm interested in doing this same mod, since I got a base. Keep track of bolts, hoses, hyd. system changes and any other items needed to change over. Good Luck!
I will let everyone know how it all turn out. The work will start this Thursday.

Yea I did check out what they had and their price is about $200.00 more than the dealership that I go to also its a whole lot easier when you have the axle with everything on it. Thanks

My man had some troubles at home and I got Screwed. I still don't have the freeking car back yet and I'm hot. I let him know just how pissed I am cause I made an appointment with him 1 month prior to me dropping off the PT. I am suppose to get it back this friday. He is the only one I will allow to work on my PT he does not let anyone else in his shop touch it so thats why I put up with his crap. I did talk to him about rear axle and he has installed it but is not done hooking up everything else, all the rotors were re-surfaced. The rear axle that I bought had everything. I don't need a brake proprotioning valve cause the brake system huses a hydro- boost whatever that is.

What a waste. The stock rotors are crap, and rears are much cheaper than fronts - should put new rotor and pads on while you're at it - NAPA has 2 grades - their better grade is still cheap for the rear and better and cheaper than stock.
