I've got a '74 2002 w/ the tii strut/E12 5er rotor setup. Works great, 
although bleeding the calipers is really annoying (3 screws per side). A 
vast improvement over the stock brakes. If you're looking for a kit-type 
coversion, Top End Performance (818-764-6788) offers a bolt-on (tii 
struts NOT required) 10" vented rotor conversion for $525 ($585 w/ 
braided lines) This may be your best bet.
