Brake question for you folks

[drjenkins]

Alrighty, so I've had some serious problems with my brakes a couple weeks ago. I was pushing to the floor and getting no response. So of course I need to fix them. My question being: Since I'm dealing on a limited budget, would it be more advisable to just do a power booster with the dual master cylinder, or go full bore and do the front discs? Pros/cons of both if you could please.

I'm trying to make sure that I stay grounded on this whole resto-mod as much as I can. But I also want to make it safe enough to trust driving my wife and daughter around in it when it's done. Since I'm really green on all things automotive, I wanted to run it by people more experienced than me. Thanks!

Oh, by the way, It's got 6 lug wheels now, is there any reason to swap out for 5 lug? I've seen the disc brake kits are about $100 more for the 6 lug. Just wondering...
