    Just the control arms & spindals? Not off hand. Usually people put on a disc conversion on the OEM spindles &/or the Sunbird/Cavalier rack & pinion kit. The kit involves heating & bending the control arms for the kit to fit.

    They have 3" dropped Steering arms. Includes Shock kit. They aren't cheap though! They have all kinds of goodies! Also try KANTER. They have great stuff too but just stock applications.

    Your car already has an independent front end, with a shock relocation kit and disc brake conversion it will work just fine.
    There are dropped spindles also for your car.

    Thanks Guys .I have no problem with king pins (doing my 52 chevy just a disc brake and a rack ) just some people get a fixation that they are no good and there is no changing there mind.
