Shawn you will hear many nay-sayers about the "Tall Spindle" conversion. And for someone looking for the ultimate in handling it may not be the latest & greatest. But it works for me. I have spindles from a 96 Caprice Wagon in my Elky & the braking is MUCH improved. The spindle change dropped my front end just over 1 inch also.
The Roadmaster may have a 5 inch wheel bolt pattern as compared to the chevelles 4 3/4 inch. But that can be addressed or you can use 5inch wheels on the front.
