Default Brake advice

I am looking to get some advice regarding brakes. I have a '71 911 Targa that has been garaged...but sitting for 6+ years. The brakes are basically seized and as good measure I would like to replace the calipers, rotors, pads and necessary lines.
Just seeing if anyone here has any recommendations regarding what might be a good replacement. I checked Pelican and Paragon and it seems like they offer multiple options.

I am looking for a basic replacement (kit if possible).

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Paul

What about just sending them away to have your originals rebuilt ? I know there are lots of places that do this. If they are alluminum and came off an S for example they are worth a small fortune..

Rebuilding is an option. The car is stationary and time is not an issue. They are off of a T; I am not sure what they are made of.

Any ideas about where they could be sent to?

PMB is an excellent option for you! PMB Restored calipers are restored to as-new condition, look beautiful and operate as though they just came off the showroom floor!

We offer PMB front & rear calipers for your '71. A core charge applies as we'd need the originals returned to us.

Click here for the product page within our catalog. Fronts are 911-351-907-00-PMB and rears are 901-352-907-00-PMB.

Another option is to rebuild the calipers. We have put together step-by-step instructions for this project here:
