Yes, mine came off an '01 S but you must have 17" wheels minimum and the rear axle housings have to be swapped out so the emergency brake will work. The axle housings, from an S are larger due to the S axles being larger in diameter so you will either have to change axles or rig a bracket for the axle rotation counter so it fits closer to the smaller axle on your base model otherwise your ABS light will come on. It actually sounds more complicated than it is but, at least to me, it was worth the swap and I've had no issues in three years of use. I did not swap axles but opted for a mounting bracket for the rotation counter and have had no issues with it as well.
