I'm not sure about the exact specs of an Imperial front end and how
identical it is to the C-bodies. If it's similar to the fuselage ones, you
could pretty much use any disc brake setup from 69-73 as there's not much
difference. However, the best setup would be to go with the 73 C-body
spindles/discs as the rotors are the same as the one's for pickups and are
around 60 bucks a piece here in Houston. The 71-72 rotors are different,
and run about 110 at my local O'Reilly Auto Parts store. I just ordered a
73 disc brake setup for my 69 Fury for this reason.
