Yep, I still have the stock control arms and spindle. The spindle needed to get the caliper ear sawsawed off, part of the spindle nearest the bumper sawsawed off, a 5 minute drumel to level off a spot for the caliper bracket, and 3 taps of the exsisting dust shield holes for the caliper bracket.

It might sound involved, but its really not. I am by no means a very skilled craftsman, but I sure do like the sawsaw now.
Sawsaw took about 5 minutes tops and the drumel the same. I was more afraid of screwing up the taps than anything else.

I am going to vacuum brakes on my 87 soon. The 1 1/8th master cylinder is plenty and has done just fine. No proportioning valve on this set up.

I have this same kit on my 69 GTO. That was even easier to install and man did that make a difference. I feel much safer in both cars now.

I have pics
