Would I be able to swap a suspension from a 99 Saleen onto a 98 GT? I.E. - lowering springs, shocks, struts, front sway bar.

I don't see why I wouldn't be able to do so... I don't believe anything was changed in the suspension from 96-04 right?

Front sway bar would be the only thing that I dont know.. I know that everything else would be fine.. .personally i think it should be fine... cant see why not, but you never know...
Can i ask why your doing this? you find a parts car or something?

My '98 has almost 100,000 miles and the struts/shocks are starting to go.. I found a great deal on a suspension out of an '02 saleen with very low miles... so I figured I would swap the suspension.

Should be fine, I think one of the only things different that won't swap out is the LCA's.

Everything will swap fine-(sway bar,springs,shocks,struts) but yeah not the rear lower control arms. No need to swap those anyway,unless someone can tell us if Saleen used higher durometer bushings in their arms?
