Imperial rear disc set up

Saw a complete set at the Fall Fling, was gonna get it, but this little voice in my head said “NO”!!! If I recall, I read a article somewhere saying to stay away from them, they are more trouble than they are worth. Does anyone have any thoughts, good, bad, or ugly? Would have been nice to say I have all Mopar stuff on my car.

74 9″ To 10″ Drum Swap

I now have 9″ all around.
The rears will be converted to 10″ when I put the 9″ Ford rear in that I have, since it has 10″ drums on it.

73 and up Spindles

I read post on which way the caliper goes on. My question is I recieved some spindles the other day and way the lower Ball Joints are situated the calipers are to the front. Is this correct? I have a front sway bar so dont they suppose to go to the rear? Will moving them to the rear effect anything? The pitch at the top of the spindle will slope to the oter direction and I was woundering if this will cause any alignment issues? Thanks for all your Help.
