6 Lug 15x6 4 Nub Steels - Disc Conversion Options?

Wanting to keep the stock look (tire size, track width, dog dishes) of my short wide '68 CST, but improve the safety, I'm getting some 6 lug four nub 15x6 steelies to replace my original 3 nubs. What are my best disc conversion options (performance wise), without changing the look?

So, having searched the boards for "Lug Disc Conversion", spending hours reading, and realizing how annoying it is for veterans on here to see new threads like this, I'm looking for the thread delete option.

If I could rewrite the thread, I would just be looking for a conversion option (does it exist?) that works with my 15x6 4 nub steelies, and doesn't increase the track width.

I just bought this kit today. http://ssbrakes.com/i-10093441-1967-...g-a126-71.html. Kind of pricey and you can't buy it without the booster and cylinder as I don't need them but I also won't have to disassemble my front end which is all powdercoated and installed.

Cool! Are you using it on the 15x6 4 nub steel wheels, and do you know if it will change your track width?

I am using g 15x6 wheels. It should not change any track width as you would be using all your drum brake components.
