Brake upgrades

For those of you who have upgraded your brakes, what components/kit did you use?

I need a whole new assembly that is capable of powering 4 wheel disc brakes.

is a 7 inch booster suitable? There isn't much room since its underneath the cab, I am worried the 8 inch is too big.

If you look at my build thread, you can see how I set up my brakes.

Thanks, as I get further along with my build its good to see your build and get little reminders and things to look out for. Great thread.

I am installing an explorer Rear end, mustang ii IFS, 351w, C6, relocating gas tank, and all the paint and interior.

My worry with the brake setup that you used, which is exactly like the one I want to use, is that the pedal may interfere with the bell housing of the C6.
