Since you already have 15" wheels, you don't need to look for one that uses really small calipers, I'm pretty sure you can do this with mostly common GM parts.  I recall both Stinger Motorsports (David Clemens) and LeVair (Michael Leveque) have offered a set of brackets and a parts list.

front /rear balance shouldn't be affected by the master cylinder, since 
they all (I think?) have the same piston size for both - chambers?

If you go with a disk conversion and one end locks up before the other, 
you can always put a proportioning valve in the circuit that locks up first.
They are only $25 or so.

when you say 'works as well as' - can you lock up the wheels if you 
really stomp on the brakes? If not, maybe they're  not working as well 
as possible?
