Converting to Mk8 Brakes

Man, I haven't had this much fun working on a car in a while!! I took a pic of what I think you need to convert. I didn't realize there was this much difference between the two. I found a bunch of worn out parts on the car so I figured I would convert while I was at it. I had a smashed up Mark 8 that Ive been picking parts off of for a while for customers.
So, I picked the rusty sheeeeiiiitt spindles, rotors, caliper mounts, and luckily, the last owner put new TRW sway bar end links on which I used. My wife had picked a set of NEW front pads off a CFC Mark 8(...lets not talk about CFC...). I took the rusty calipers and traded them in for remans from Advance. Put some new LCA inner bushings on, and some new lower ball joints. HEADS UP!! The life time Duralast parts from Autozone, is WAAYY better quality than TRW and they are cheaper. Autozone has stepped up their quality.
