Default T1 Lower Control Arms

I'm thinking about replacing my 01 Z lower control arms with T1 lowers.
I need new ball joints and the inboard bushings could use some freshening too.
Are T1 lowers compatible with stock Z uppers?
Do you have to run the T1 camber space kits or will stock work?

The only difference is the stiffness of the bushings so they will work with the stock uppers and stock camber cams. I have two brand new T1 uppers that I can sell for $300 + shipping if you decide you want to upgrade there as well.

Thanks Bill, I'll have to take a closer look at the uppers after next weekend (the end of the year here in the Northwest) and see if maybe they need to go too.
