With 14" rims  you don't have many options. Nice car!  :2thumbs:

The Cordoba conversion is the best way to go for the front , 11.75 discs & different caliper brackets using the same calipers & spindles  , & I would use the Dr Diff rear disc conversion as you can retain the factory tapered brgs , But the Cordoba brakes will not fit inside the 14" rims .
