Default Recommendations 4 wheel disc conversion/ offset trailing arms for 64

Looking for some recommendations on kits that work /fit well for a 4 wheel disc conversion on my 64 roadster. I want a zero offset setup for the front end and rear offset trailing arms for larger tires for the rear. I'm also looking to add power brake booster and dual Reservoir master at same time. One thing I do not want is a aftermarket low end single. Piston caliper set up. Thank you in advance!

Just because trailing arms are advertised as 'offset' doesn't mean they are. I bought a used set complete and ended up returning them because of bad bearings. Before I did I measured them and there was no difference dimensionally, just that the parking brake tab was moved to the top of the arm. I can't remember which brand but it was one of the more common ones.
