The upper GW arms can be used with the AFX spindles, not sure why you thought no. There are 2 arms GW offers, either with or without the offset shaft, then you have bushing options. If by chance you need/want a different upper, it is very easy to sell the ones you have, and you can recoup almost the entire cost of whichever you already purchased.

You can buy the knock-off lower control arms, a set is like $300, and you can sell the uppers. Many are getting in the $180-$220 range for just the uppers. There is no geometry advantages built into the lower arms.

Brakes are less expensive than replacing the OE D52 rotors, calipers, and wheel bearings. (Look at the postings I provided). And, down the road, you have many upgrade options if you want to add larger rotors, aftermarket calipers, etc, they bolt right on.

You can hash out the cost, but if you are totaling the $ spent for the upgrade, you are really only about $600 additional cost for the upgrade, which is a total bargain.

Get the GW springs, they are like $150 for the set, and there are a few options on rates/drop. The AFX spindles provide a drop right off the bat, since the location of the pin is slightly higher. (@ 1.25").

If you already have planned on getting 18s, then technically that cost is not a factor. The US Bandits give you a very close to stock-looking arrangement. You can even adapt the OE center caps.

Once you go that route, you will look back and ask yourself why they heck you waited so long to do the upgrade. It is that big of a difference. You will never regret the decision.

You can sell part you have to offset the total cost as well.

Talk to Tobin and Kore3, he can provide multiple options for brakes, as well as providing a rear disc solution.

There is no downside going with this upgrade, period. You will have just about the finest handling config available for the 64-72 A-body. The only way to get better is to buy an aftermarket chassis, and the improvement over the AFX is nominal.
