You'll need new braided lines and possibly a bearing spacer for your rear-end. We can supply everything you'd need.

So are those brakes good for street use or drag only? If they are good for the street I'd be interested also. Thanks for the link Steve, I liked checking out the line lock and ABS delete, I've been looking for both!

It depends on your definition of street use. They are drag brakes; they will remove ~60lbs from the front and ~25lbs from the rear-end. They will allow you for example to run our lightest wheels and our wheel setups that are less expensive than LS1 designed wheels.
They stop very well. They will not dissipate heat like your stock brakes. So they will not handle harsh repeated stops without seeing brake fade. They should work fine for someone that is just driving the car to car shows or light normal driving on the street.
