That is why I am asking.

I have already agreed to buy it, but the final price is flexible depending on what all I can use.


you can use the spindles, just do the research so you get the right calipers and hoses (or just order them from doctor diff).
if your car has a factory sway bar then you want to mount the calipers to the rear, no sway bar or aftermarket, then you can front mount the calipers (swapping the spindles on each side) and the brake hose routing will be cleaner...

if the calipers on the donor car are good, you can just use all that stuff and mount the calipers on the rear like factory.
i would buy some firm feel upper control arms though so you can run more modern alignment specs since we aren't all driving on bias ply tires anymore like the cars were originally spec'd for...
