If you swap the spindle does the dust shield come with? You will basically be replacing everything outboard of the CV joint. Of course the parking brake cable will have nothing to attach to. The rim bolt pattern is now different than the rear.
I've got an 1985 and I just can't picture a scenerio where the brakes suck! The only situation would be autoban like high speed stopping. And then I feel (my opinion only thank you!) you will just lock up the wheel faster. You really need ABS not more brakes. But....having said that, if you really must upgrade, the '86 spindle carry vented rotors with the same caliper and parking brake verses the solid '85 rotor.
