Yes. Basically the exact same setup more or less between gc/gd sf/sg etc.

I kept the trailing arms still connected to the car body, as that is where the handbrake cables and abs if equipped will meet the hub. But i did already disconnect the handbrake cables from inside the cabin, and feed them through the floor as part of the prep work for the roll cage/seam welding. So not sure if this will interfere with the tank.

You will need to unclip the brake lines from the struts to let the hub come down far enough. Dont need to disconnect the hydraulic fluid connection, just the clip or bolt that secures the hose to the strut. That way it can flex enough to give clearance.

Then its literally drop the exhaust, tailshaft, 3 bolts on each strut top. 4 bolts on the crossmember, also undo the swaybar. And unbolt the diff outrigger from the body. Then lower the whole lot down with a jack. Just make sure you dont stretch the brake hoses, or handbrake cables etc.
