Complete Brake Kits

So I want to get a complete brake kit for my truck. Disks front and back. I just cant seem to find a complete kit. It's gonna be stopping a supercharged 454(or 496) so I need some "WHOA" power. What company manufactures a brake kit with reasonable price and good/great quality? Rotors, calipers and all? Components right now include. DJM 3" drops spindes, and stock rear end (although I'm adding an aftermarket POSI). I'd just like to be able to stop this sucker just as good as I can get it goin.

Thanks,

Wes

Re: Complete Brake Kits

SSBC (Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation) makes rear disc conversions, fron brake pakages and are easy to order replacement parts for. I think some kits come with drop spindles too.

I'm going to be using one of their master cylinders in my truck once I redo my engine bay. My buddy Chad has a sponsorship from them on his El Camino and said that they are a dam god company to work with.

Re: Complete Brake Kits

The last few catalogs I recieved from Stylin' Concepts have had brake kits in them.
The fronts are oversized discs and the rears are discs.
The price seemed within reason but not a "great" deal.
Not sure of quality but I thought they said replacement parts would be available at any parts store?
I think it said you had to run + size rims though?
