I got a good deal on them from an Ebay store years ago for my Cjallenger.  I was real happy with the company, there tech dept was outstanding!

I bought them direct from SSBC using the Group Buy from this 'site. I was happy with the price.
Usually, there are price restrictions to outside vendors from the manufacturer. For example, Summit cannot undersell SSBC's prices when selling their products.
I had to call SSBC tech support a few times, I thought they were very helpful.

which kit did you get? and what all would you need to buy to change from drums to discs?

I got the Force 10 4-wheel manual disc brake kit, with slotted rotors.
I think the only thing I had to buy really was brake fluid.

I used a different prop valve setup, though. So, I spend a little more on lines & fittings. You don't necessarily have to do it that way, & just use the prop valve included in their kit.

I haven't driven the car (no engine or trans yet), so I can't comment on performance. Although, I hear it's very good.

I got the A-156 kit for my 69 through the Group Buy a while ago. It went on no problem and I used the Prop. valve provided. Works awesome. I am glad I did it. At the time I didn't have the money to upgrade to the Force 10 calipers. They would look nicer, but I was already over budget and the base kit is still 100 times better than the drums that were on the car. ;D
