I've got a couple of question that I wonder if you guys could help me with. I run a metric modified with Nova lowers. I have a buddy that is wanting to run nova lowers on his metric street stock with Impala spindles. so I'm wondering

Will the spring pocket need to be changed?
Will the stock metric uppers bolt up with the nova lower and impala spindles?
If not, will Nova uppers bolt up to a metric clip and work with this setup?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You will have to move the spring pocket out 3/4" for the spring to sit decent and you will need to move the upper control arm mount and or get new upper a-arms.
