The rotorpros stuff is nice! About $180 slotted and drilled shipping included.
Thanks for the heads up. DId you install the 3" Studs or did they do them? I am doing the same set up on my 67 Dart right now. Putting the K Frame together.
If anyone else is interested.

Are you also getting the DrDiff bearing adapters so that you can use the 11.75 rotors on your '72 spindles? I'm curious as to the life of the DD bearing adapters as well as their accuracy in allowing the larger bearings needed for 11.75 rotor setup.... I'm deciding to eventually install the 11.75 rotor setup but my spindles have the smaller bearings.... seems to be a major hassle to obtain and remove/install the '73-up spindles... also... i'd get the drilled/slotted rotors as I'm gradually doing more hi-speed track events vs low-speed autocross.

Bearing sleeves which not overly common are used in some heavy industrial applications so I wouldn't expect them to create any problems in the spindle application...

I have been running the Dr Diff bearing sleeves on our '66 Charger for a few months and a few thousand miles. When/if I switch to winter tires (studded) I will check the front breaks/bearings and report back on this. So far everything feels good. The reason I say "if" is because the car is for sale.

2 years on my dr diff bearing adapters. Am probably taking them off because my Baer brakes will use my stock spindles. My main reason for upgrading was for affordable selection of different pad compounds.

What kind of tie rod sleeves and strut rods? Looks nice.Hows the ride? 
The sleeves are PST and the strut rods are RMS. Both parts are very nice for the money. The ride is good however the red car is a more drag oriented ride utilizing all of those nice parts to lighten it up and provide lots of suspension travel for good weight transfer. It has 3.5" front wheels and M&H drag radials on the back to it feels pretty scary compared to a car with regular tires. It drives about as good as it did with stock parts due to the tires being the limiting factor.
My other '66 Charger (white-ish in color) is the one with the 70-72 b-body spindles and 73-up rotors/calipers. If it does not sell it will be next in line for the same modifications minus the strut rods because I drive it in the winter (no road salt here).
