87 TA brakes

ok i need to replace my brakes all the way around i have an 87 TA with all-wheel disc what are some prices that i would expect to pay. ie: pads, rotors, barings, and well while i have it all torn apart i would like to replace the calipers and the rubber lines with steel ones. since i have to get this done (my car doesn't stop too well ) i was also trying to find out about doing a conversion in the front to a fourth gen hub? is that possible? i want to put a set of C5 rims with out spacers i am worried that if i use spacers it will move the tire out to far and give me problems not just wilth how it looks but more the barings. how much stress do spacers put on barings will the ware out quicker?

Do you have the aluminum PBR calipers on all four corners or the cast iron calipers?

Mine had the aluminum calipers in the rear, but the iron calipers in the front. I swapped in the 1LE kit up front and now everything matches and stops great.
