Wilwood Disc Brake Conversion or similar

I have had my truck done for about a year (1971 C10 short bed). Running stock master cylinder, proportioning valve, drums in the rear along with 2.5 inch CPP drop spindles and stock caliper set up in the front. I have 20 inch wheels and looking to fill the void in wheel space by adding larger rotors both front and rear and converting to disc all the way around. I am wanting to go with Wilwood for an entire setup but not sure what to get. I also looked at the big brake kit at CPP which is a lot cheaper. I have emailed both companies with questions and yet to got a response from either. Anyone done Wilwood or the CPP? Looking at what is needed or pros and cons of each.

I would consider CPP and Wilwood at opposite ends of the quality spectrum.
Call Wilwood and talk to them about what you are trying to do.

No I agree. Liked CPP price. But the Wilwood sure do look good. I went to AZ Pro Performance and now I'm really messed up. I really like their 14" kit which would offer more size then both of the other kits. I will be calling them today. I hate to cut my spindles, but their price is looking right. Any other members on here used their 14" kit?
