The various disk brake types I have used on many race cars have usually weighed about HALF as much as a conventional drum brake per wheel.
Wilwood and Airheart were probably the lightest. The JFZ's were very light but only single puck on the front.
The last Wilwood 4 wheel kit I bought came with everything needed to convert an early Ford to disks including a mechanical disk parking brake system. It even had new aluminum front hubs.
The universal pedal system was really nice. It could be mounted either on the firewall or the conventional floor location. The pedal box has a mechanical front/rear brake bias adjustment also.
At the time, several years ago, the Wilwood kit was comparable in price to other complete kits.
