I dont' know much about the willwood kit but I do know that Baer Brakes sells a 5 lug conversion kit with all the brakes and accessories for around 1800...looks really nice

If you havent gotten this months MM and FF magizne I would highly reccommend you go out and buy it. There is an awesome article in it comparing the 13" cobra conversion and Roush Brake. If you are going to spend the money on upgrading your brakes, dont go half $ss, go all the way. The roush brakes are twin piston calipers and there is no brake fade(compared to the Cobra brakes and those were upgraded as well in MM and FF)
Good luck

Click to expand...

Check your latest MM&FF...check the ads...I think it has everything you need...

I know www.dndmotorsports.com has the Baer Brake 5lug conversion kit in their ad...

Both front and back would be 5lug...I dont' think they would make a front 5 lug and back 4 lug

Good Luck man,
David
