if i remember rightly the rear subframes are all the same, its only the turbo front subframe thats different due to the transfer box.

if i'm wrong no doubt i'll be corrected :lol:
BETTER TO HAVE A CALIBRA AND NOT NEED ONE, THAN NEED A CALIBRA AND NOT HAVE ONE!!!

though the trailing arms will have 5 stud hubs for turbo and V6 and rear brakes I think may also be a different size ...could just simple swap the rear arms though

im 99% sure the rear is the same apart from the hubs but you can fit the 4x4 diff and drive shafts to a 4 stud if you wanted
