LX RTS?
It will give you a little more camber gain on bump. It's literally a case of drilling two holes per side in a different position... just do that; you don't need to change the front end, lol.
Then replace whatever bushes etc. are needed, adjust it up to 2 degrees of positive castor, get some lowered springs and cut them until the car sits with the tyre inline with the eyebrow of the guard, make sure you've got a bigger aftermarket front swaybar and as good a pair of shocks as you're willing to spend the money on.

Yeah look just buy whatever you can find as long as it has the normal 6cyl/V8 engine mounts.
You can drill the rear-mount swaybar holes into a base model LH K-Frame if they aren't present, and as I said you can change those upper pivot holes very easily as well.
You might be able to sell your old K-Frame to someone who's going to do an interesting engine swap, or put an engine plate in their car, too. I try to find a home for anything I don't use, and with Toranas, I normally succeed.

I don't have any strong recommendations. I used Whiteline urethane bushes throughout because my mate at Repco took care of me on the price. And I bought the 'Moog' brand balljoints through Summit (USA).
Moog had a reputation of being superior to what people were stocking in Australia a decade ago. Whether that's valid or not I have no idea. I don't think Moog is anything particularly special.

It looks like the Speco will mount on top of the box which will put the shifter in a similar position the std shifter so you shouldn't have to modify the floor like a Hurst shifter.
