1971 Dart Disc brake conversion jegs kit?

Would this work without having to buy other things for my car. this would be nice bc to replace my drums is the same price.

You would also need a disc master cylinder and a brake proportioning valve
Another option If you have any junk yards ? Get a later spindle with 5 on 4.1/2 bolt pattern.
And you can use disc rotor, caliper, backing plate & all the hardware from a Volare, Aspen Ok with stock 14" wheels. Or even the larger disc from a Marada, late 76, 77, 78 or simillar car if you use 15" wheels

Double check that that kit will work with an A=Body, cause it says B & E body...
Have you checked to see if anyone in your area has a disc brake setup for a late A-Body?

re: disc brakes
You will need 73 + UP A-BODY UPPER CONTROL ARMS, in addition to the spindels, splash shields, & proporating valve, master cylinder.

CarBuilder,
Funny thing is I ma currently in the process of upgrading my 71 Demon to 73-76 brakes. I bought them from a guy who sells them on ebay (hemi71x@aol.com) He has some of the Kelsey Hayes kit left. This would be a direct replacement for the 71 4" bolt pattern. I opted to go with the larger bolt pattern. I guess my point is he sells everything you need and or ensures you know what is needed. When I picked up my 73-76 setup he showed me the smaller bolt pattern setup, looked nice Not sure where you are from but he is in the Sac area, could save you shipping if you are in the area.
Good Luck
