i would imagine that any tubular control arm setup will do the job.

Opentracker makes wonderful products and is a really helpful guy, I would go with his.

Depends your budget and if you want to race it.The open tracker ones are better then maier racing theres are just moog ones with bracing welded in.Open trackers are the same but use better bushings and ball joints.The tubular ones are nice but you don't have to use them unless you want to.But if you do and want to race the car check what class your in most vintage class's dont allow coilovers or tubular control arms.

Only need the negative wedge kit if you are lowering the upper arms more than 1". Otherwise I agree.
