Rebuild the Subframe that already in the Z which is the early model (80)

Or rebuild a late subframe from an 83?

I can't remember but if I do the 83 Swap, What did I need to change? It already has the brake assemblies but I'm more wondering if I need different shocks, E-brake cables and brake lines.

BTW, is it better to buy reman calipers or just rebuild the ones I have? Cuz all of them leak. But they still work

83 ftw. The rear brake set up on the series I zx's were a pita to deal with. Not the hardest thing, but compared to the series II (82-83), i like the series II way better.
