Randy go to the tech archives and look at the brake article. It will clear up most questions. Tim

The lower control arm is the same as what you have now just need a (disc) lower ball joint. The spindles are interchangeable from side to side but I'd mount them so the caliper is located on the opposite (front to rear) side of the spindle as the hard line to neoprene line frame mounting tab is so in other words the brake neoprene hose has to go behind/past the spindle to connect from the caliper to the frame tab. Using sway bars MAY force you to mount the calipers to the rear which is only problematic as you have to get creative with the hose selection but do check for interference lock to lock & up/down thru its' travel. Yes see the archives.
