You can re-use your original upper control arms.

You will need lower control arms though depending on exactly what brakes you had before.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

They will bolt on your car without issue, both upper and lower unless someone has monkeyed with the uppers.

IIRC, A 13/16 or 7/8" nut on the upper ball joint is a large ball joint.
