Yep, that's where the improvement in the caster comes from, but if you go cast, there's the need to change the knuckles as well... Can't recall right now why that is, ball joints?...

Ehh, I don't want to change the knucles or brakes, etc, etc, etc. I think i will just go for the stamped.

If you go with stamped, and decide later to go with 11" brakes, they're easy to find on 15" wheel caravans from like 87-1990, same knuckle as the 89/90 Shelby Daytona and Lebaron GTC 11" brakes. You just have to get a small bolt pattern wheel bearing from any 91+ car if you can't find a 89/90 car with 11's.
11's are nice, I have them on both my cars, The daytona has the D150 MC and my yorker has the stock 11" MC from a daytona ES I parted that came with factory 11's. I like the D150 MC on the 5spd as it modulates easier with all the pedal dancing. The stock 11" MC on the yorker is great for an Auto but when you put on the binders they're on right now! Scared the crap out of my sister in the yorker slamming on the brakes to stop at a red light camera intersection. We went from 40-0 in maybe 30ft.

Kinda like the bracing they added to the stub strut arms on the early caravans. It controls the wheel better which in turn gives a better ride because you're not getting secondary vibrations.
Another example, a friend had an 85 Laser with Koni's and Eibachs. The people who sat in the rear always had their head hitting the roof over every bump. We built a rear shock tower bar triangulated into the floor and from then on no one banged their head. Why? because the suspension was moving like it was designed too instead of the body flexing and throwing the passengers up into the roof. You could even feel the huge difference rolling into driveways.
You do not have to change knuckles to use the dual pivot arms. And your wheels will get moved moved forward regardless of which style you use. Stamped can use the original swaybar, if you go cast you will need a cast-style swaybar.
Frank there was a 93 P body in the Brandywine yard at Oakville. Its been a few months since I was last there so it maybe gone now. Only thing I dont know about is how much that fat slug behind the counter is gonna want for it.... They wanted $100 for an electric fan I could buy new for $60 from the dealership.
Heh, sounds like you're yarding in my neighbourhood.... "How much for a caravan rad?" "$100" "PFFFFFT" "I know what they're worth!" "So do I, see yah." (Went and bought one new for $80)
DD1: '02 T&C Ltd, 3.8 AWD. DD2: '15 Versa Note SV, replacing.. DDx: '14 Versa Note SV << freshly killded :( ....... Projects: '88 Voyager 3.0, Auto with shift kit, timing advance, walker sound FX muffler on 15" pumpers wrapped in 215/65/R15 H rated Nexens.... and a '95 phord escort wagon PnP head << Both may need to go :( ..... I like 3.0s ... so??? ... stop looking at me like I've got two heads!
Grrr. So even a stamped set will move my wheels forward? How bad?

Not bad, it'll still fit. On my Daytona when I swapped, 205/60/16's rubbed, 205/55/16's didn't. It only moves them a small amount.
For reference, I run early knuckles with a cast arm dual pivot K frame on the ScAries. It did move the wheels forward a hair, but nothing noticeable. For what it is, the car handles awesome.
I wouldn't worry about it.
