I bought a suspension rebuild kit.

Small question:
My LCAs came without paint. If you are on a budget what's the best paint & method to use?

Bigger question:
I have a 70 Grande'. When I ordered the kit, the supplier offered me 620 1-1/2" drop coil springs. Apparently the springs from 65-68 will give you an additional 1/2" drop. Same rate, thinner coils(I never knew this). Anyway. With the coils came everything else for a 68; perches, UCA's, tie rods, etc.. all came for a 68. Will this stuff fit properly. I understand the perches being different and maybe the UCA's, but are their any not so intuitive problems with this "essentially" front end swap?
