I would suggest that rather than sourcing and building your own kit from pieces, go and purchase a brake upgrade from one of the non-wilwood vendors...maybe even Baer. This will get you matched and tested component combinations that would likely perform just as well as the stuff you're looking at now.

Here's an example:

EDIT: Not dissing Wilwood at all, just figure the OP isn't into spending that much.

Those Baer kits are ~$2k. That's not exactly cheap.

I'm guessing rhc10 was trying for the budget approach & yielding the same basic parts @ half that cost.
