IROC lower control arm/RS Control Arm

Sup? I'm installing a set of poly bushings on my 89 IROC, I got them in the rear, but before I install them in the front I need to buy a new Lower Control Arm for my passanger side as either it or the spindle are bent from a previous owner slidding into a curb...

The local junk yard has a 2.8 liter RS that I can pull the lower control arm and spindle from, but I was wondering if they are the same as the IROC ones... are the spindles the same?

Thanx

I'm almost positive they are the same, I was told on the board that the only real differences between my v8 rs suspension and that of a iroc, were sway bars...and one other thing....can't remember.

I think its the sway bars are biiger and the springs are stiffer...
