The inner race dimensions on the 4k and 90 bearing are the same. So,
w/the 90 knuckle you would use a 90 bearing.

Depending on what plans you have for the car - you can use either axle
by matching the hub (inner race on the bearing is the same so either hub
will work). 4k axles are stronger than the 90. Also be aware that the v6
axles are different than the 5cyl axles.

Don't know about the rotors, but you would want to keep the same
alignment specs as the 4k if you're keeping everything else stock.

I didn't do the swap on my car - but this is what I've observed from
taking it apart a few times. Oh yes, it appears that you also need the
offset front a-arms to keep the caster setting correct. The rears can
use the 4k a-arms but need to use the 90 ball joints.

I know some people have swapped early one piece carriers into a 4kq;
what about the following

what wheel bearing?
which axles?
which rotors to use with g60 twin calipers?
and which alingment specs?

Hope somebody can help.

Thanks
ED
