Disc Brake Conversion for 14" SSII

I'm want to replace front and rear drums on my 71 Cutlass. There are lots of complete disc brake kits on the web, but most are for 15" or larger. I really don't want to get rid of the stock wheels I have. Any suggestions for a quality kit?

I can't speak to the rear disks, but the factory 10.75" front disks clear 14x6 and 14x7 SSII/III wheels, since they came that way from the factory. Frankly, you may want to consider simply upgrading to the 11x2" drums on the rear. These were used on the 73-77 A-body cars and also clear the 14" wheels.
