Anyone used this disc conversion

I've never tried the ones you've listed. What size wheels are you going to run?

Wilwood's are ok for a track car, and a limited weather use street car but they have no dust seals to keep dirt and water out of the caliper piston bores and can be pricey. They are light, perform well and look great though.

If you get a hold of Dr Diff and get the parts for his Econo brake system, you will end up with a 4 wheel disc matched system that offers way more performance than stock at a reasonable price with parts availability almost everywhere.
 
That looks like the factory set up and not a bad price except I don't see the lower ball joint bolts and you have to still buy a prop valve.

The kit looks like its made up of factory type components. So if all you are trying to do is go from drum to disc it should work.

But you could either go with an aftermarket kit like suggested above, or source parts for the 11.75" factory brake setup.
 
What is your goal here? LBP? Drum to disc swap? Better braking? How do you intend to use the car?
