You should be able to reuse the shocks/springs, lower control arms (front & rear), and e-brake cables. I am not 100% sure on the brake lines, but you should be able to.
The only thing you should be swapping out are the rear trailing arms/hubs/brakes and the front knuckles/hubs/brakes; especially on a DC.
I did the same swap on an EM1 and was able to reuse everything except the brake lines.
Good luck with the conversion!

32 mm axle/hub from a CTR.
If your donor car is a CTR or USDM ITR it will have 32 mm axles/hubs.
