Default upgrading suspension and brakes

I found out that one of the front suspension springs on my '69 camaro has snapped. I've decided that instead of just replacing the sping, I'm going to go all out and upgrade the front suspension and convert the drum brakes to disk at the same time. I've been doing research and found some decent looking coilovers made by QA1.

Has anyone bought and installed the QA1 GME1350 Economy Pro coilovers?

Anyone know any other good coilovers for less than $400 for the pair?

For brakes, I've seen a front replacement set at Rick's Camaro for just under $600, but I've seen a similar setup on ebay for about $530. I'm not sure I want to trust my brakes to an ebay purchase. Has anyone else gone that route?

Last question, anything I need to be aware of when converting all of this over?

Dont know a lot about the coilovers, but as far as brake conversions go most of the stuff you see at Ricks, e-bay, NPD, whatever, come from Right Stuff Detailing. I used them on mine, good kit.
