Question Disc Brake Conversion Kit Help

I want to convert the front drums to discs on my 64 F100. I found this kit for only $300 https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Delux...-Ton,4623.html

I am aware that there is a huge range of prices but I am also trying to stay within my budget. Does the quality really change that much with price or am I paying for brand name? Will buying these budget discs be unsafe?

Thanks!

I bought my kit from Auto City Classics and the staff was very helpful making sure that I got what I needed. The total cost was about $480 but that included billet master cylinder, proportioning valve, drilled/slotted rotors and braided stainless brake lines. The increase in braking efficiency is well worth the price.

I I bought that exact Speedway kit and totally love the stopping power of my brakes. No problem in 2 years since I've owned them. They even fit my stock steel wheels.
