anything i need to know before i do...or any good reasons NOT to go this route?
Before you do check out Pirate Jacks first. I had scarebird years ago.
Just did my 65 dart project fronts with PJ. still using stock UCA's
Not a plate system, has new spindles etc.
IMO better all around set up for the $.

Those look like standard '73+ sliding calipers which were used on both the 10 7/8" disc and 11 3/4" disc (don't quote me on those 2 exact sizes, I might be a little off).DBK6272A-40 - 1962-1972 Mopar A Body Small Bolt Pattern Standard Disc Brake Conversion Kit
whats it use for calipers and rotors? is it common off the shelf stuff or special stuff you can only get from them?

plenty of aftermarket upper arms out there that will work..The kit would be even better if they included large ball joint upper control arms and a large ball joint too. Or at least had an option to buy seperatlley.
I read a lot of good things about "scarebird" but the one main reason I went with b-body spindles (73 Charger) and stock type rotors and calipers is that I depend on my car for daily driving. I bought of pair of good used LBJ UCAs here on FABO. If the brakes need work my "daily driver" is down ..... until I can order and receive the parts I need. But with stock stuff I can run down to the local auto parts and get what I need (immediately) for a good price.
So, for me, it came down to......do I need the car everyday or can i afford to have it sit while I wait on parts??? If I can afford to let it sit then the after market stuff would make more sense. Most of the modifications I make to my cars is based on whether I need it daily or if I can let it sit for a week or two waiting on parts.
I built a '46 Chevy for my son and he drives it every day (non stop) so I need to be able to get any part for it right away. The car I built for my daughter ('59 Studebaker Silver Hawk) is also driven every day to school or work so it's important that it can be fixed quickly. My '69 Barracuda is no exception.

I drive my dart everyday, the scare bird stuff is off the shelf stuff at almost every auto parts here with the exception of the rotors which i just keep an extra set in the garage
