1996 to 1998 front end swap w/fbody brakes edit: done :)

also the car actually accelerates in the turns where before it just kind of bogged down and stayed the same speed.

I notice this as well. Remember in geometry class, a change direction is a form of acceleration. That's why the steering wheel wants to straighten out when you let go. So, using the car's inertia, you have a free form of acceleration in taking a corner. For this reason, you can improve your fuel economy numbers a large amount in taking advantage of this.

Good suspension = improved efficiency

As for the ABS thing, I think you're onto something with the bubble theory. I got a little vacuum pump for $30 that works much better than gravity. You can bleed the entire system in 30 minutes or less.

Mr. Riv, i was doing sum searching on part numbers and found that the '97 left axle has a different part number than the '96 axle. my question is did you run into any problems with this on the left side? are the connectors for the hub the same?

oreilly's p/n for '97 left axle:60-1255
oreilly's p/n for '96 left axle:60-1249

my 96 axle fit right into the 97 hub. i even later swapped out with new timekin hubs and they fit fine too.
my guess is that the axle is different on the transmission end because of the different transmissions and differentials used.
