Going 5 lug, what brakes should i choose?

[greenmonsterC20]

So after months of thinking, I've decided to convert my C20 to a Five lug truck with 1/2 ton suspension. I plan on lowering it and doing a ford 9" rear end. Now i have to choose which disc brake kit to go with. I plan on driving this truck very hard when the 383 and Nash 5 speed go in. I was curious what disc brakes everyone is running, pro's and con's of certain kits. Input of any kind will be appreciated.

If you have never experienced brake fade I would stick with factory stuff. Gm truck front brakes, I'm sure something from a crown vic would work for the rear, a gm disc disc master cylinder and wilwood adjustable porportioning valve. That should be adequate for towing, very agressive street driving, and any autocross. If you're planning on some track use id keep a set of racing pads in a box for track use because race pads suck on the street.
