The control arms are the same. You just need to upgrade from 17mm ball
joints to 19mm ones to fit the new spindles.

All you really need for the 10.1" conversion is the Spindle/hub,
calliper and thats about it.
It's definately not a hard swap, it will probably take a weekend at the
most to complete depending on how easy the current spindle comes off.
I have never heard of using A3 control arms for the 10.1" conversion. >>
Pre-'88 MY cars have different cotrol arms and ball joints, and therefore
require that the control arm and ball joints be changed to fit the spindles
for 10.1" or 11" brakes.
