Yes BUT.

You need to switch the pumpkins AND the axles from both cars.

You get his VLSD and his VLSD axles

He gets your WELDED and stock axles.

is swapping the insides easy?? or is it easy to lose shit? lol

Its fairly easy.

2 shims, REMEMBER TO KEEP LEFT on LEFTSIDE. ISOLATE both sides so you don't fuck up. Axles lengths are different.

you only have to change axels if its the jdm vlsd and the usdm hicas probably has abs so the drive shaft is different

Axles are the same, driveshaft is not. Since his is auto you can't swap it. You'll also disable his ABS by removing the diff.
