As for the bushing issue, yes, replace those and box the rear, lower control arm with the $12.00 kit from Classic industries.... makes a world of difference (if it wasn't already done at the factory).
Disk brakes are great for racing, but for a street car that's going to see transportation duty and car shows - you don't need the headache of trying to make it all work. Simply because there's a kit doesn't mean it works. Simply because it sat since 02 doesn't mean they're bad - steel lines generally only die from salt on the road - Oregon doesn't do that, so the only other way would be due to water in the fluid... while it's true that rubber lines do die, they're easy to replace and dirt cheap (like $10 each). Be careful in disassembly because you can make a lot more work for yourself if you try to force things rather then use heat, penetrating fluid and gentle persuasion.
