I would stay away from SSBC, I've heard bad things about their conversion kits. You should contact Jeff from CPP. He's on this site pretty often and can probably hook you up or steer you in the right direction.

Ask for Pat, he is a knowledgeable guy that can steer you to what they offer that will work.

If you are looking for a 4 wheel disc system, I recommend staying away from the 80' style GM rear calipers with the integral parking brake. Never drove one of those cars when new that had a brake pedal worth a crap. The more modern rear disc with the internal brake shoe system work way better. The late Chevy trucks have this, as well as the F&*( Explorer
