You will be fine. You just need to order the upper spring perch from AJE to use the stock spring. I have a brand new set of them too if interested.

No issues at all at the control arm. The headers are real far from any suspension parts on the fox body cars. I have a friend that used stock arms with the AJE K member though and he couldn't keep bushings in the control arms... k member made short work of chewin em up.

my bushings are fine but I had to grind the **** out of the lower control arm on the pass side. easy qaurter inch or more. other than that make sure you get a new steering joint. mine still rubs a little on the u joint style one.
