This is better than the SSBC kit and only a bit more.

799.95
OR
599.95 if you don't want an E brake.

It is a hard job. Here are the instructions from the SSBC kit: YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE AXLE SHAFTS OUT!

The SSBC kit does not say wether you CAN or cannot keep the parking brake.

It IS cool to have, but it won't make that much of a difference, and i can think of seven other things to spend 800 bucks on.
I got drilled and slotted rotors, sith some good pads on the front instead of doing this.

Front brakes do 70% of your stopping anyway. Upgrading the fronts would do more for stopping power than anything you can do to the rear. (aside from tossing out an anchor)
