Re: 1957 buick suspention upgrade

You can use the upper and lower control arms and spindles from a '59 or '60 without air ride to get the newer ball joints See post #4 in this thread:

57 versus 58 front suspensions - V8Buick.com

For disc brakes get brackets from Scarebird:

Scarebird Classic Brakes LLC
