Jason, is that the kit with the aluminum four piston calipers? It's pricey, but the quality should be there. Check with Jim Valukis. He's probably got the parts to convert to late model discs. Or are you trying to keep small bolt pattern?
I showed this kit to someone else that was doing a 68 Super Stock clone as Jason is. The S/S cars had KH A-body calipers with a special one off large pattern rotor. One SSBC kit uses cast iron KH calipers and large pattern mustang rotors that have a large center register that you can see through with steel rims.

Just my two cents, but for that kind of money, I would want a little better than just an upgraded stockish system. Why not Aerospace or Wilwood kit? I run Wilwoods, and they are very nice for the street, super light, super easy to change pads, and fantastic at stopping. The Aerospace ones look like a step up from those....

Jason, I used the SSBC kit on my '71 Dart GT. Very expensive ($830 to my door from Mancini), but very complete. It was a simple install. I was able to keep my 14" Rallye wheels with 4" bolt pattern front and rear (8 3/4" 3.23:1 SG). I'm happy and would use SSBC again. Dan
