Default UCA drop and bumpsteer kit

I have a question. I have a bumpsteer kit I'm looking at putting onto my car but it supposedly also drops the car 1". Will this have a similar positive effect on handling as the upper control arm drop? I guess if I did the bumpsteer kit and the UCA drop the car would be lowered about 1 2/3" which would be about the same if I used 2" drop spindles. Anyone have any insight or experience with a combination like this?

A bumpsteer kit that drops the car 1"???? Don't believe I have heard of or see how this would happen. What kit is it? If you're talking about the Pro Motorsports kit you misread. This kit drop the tie rod 1" and I believe moves it forward 1" to quicken steering.

Default Should I

buy a disc break set up from a 68 which includes calipers,spinles and discs for $300. Or should i wait and buy a conversion bracket kit to use 04 breaks and go that route. my car is not a race machine i just drive it around town.

Will the 68 spindles limit my steering?
