Wilwood brakes

I have the chance to buy a set of wilwood rotors and 4-piston calipers front and rear. Fronts are 13' and the rear's are 11'' They are 5 on 5 bolt pattern. The question is I want to put these on my 69'.. Front and rear drums currently. I would like to do the fronts first and worry about thr rears later. Would these work with a kit from ECE or something similiar minus the rotors/calipers? What else would I need. He only wants $550 for everything so that's why this came up..

Change out your ball joints to 73-87 style and outer tie rods I believe. Someone may correct me here and then you can add the disc brake spindles from 73-87 as well and install your disc brakes.

You are wanting to lower with ECE drop spindles?These spindles are mimmicks of factory(71/72) w/the spindle relocated.So they take stock 71/72 brakes.If the Wilwoods are designed for these trucks they`ll bolt on.Are these caliper/rotor sets?What vehicle are these brakes intended for?That`s where we need to start.
