Default Brake calipers and flex lines questions on ERA

I'm getting ready to purchase some brake calipers for my ERA 289 FIA. Rather than use the standard, recommended GM parts (single piston), I figured I could upgrade to a Wilwood (two piston) caliper for probably about the same price (I'm guessing, based on the apparent GM mark up). Note that the ERA Wilwood option is a larger rotor and a four piston caliper, but I just want something a little better than the GM single piston caliper w/o too much expense.

Question: Anyone know if the Wilwood Dynalite calipers will swap directly with the GM caliper on a ERA front suspension? Any brackets required? Will this fit and clear the standard FIA wheels?

Also, instead of purchasing standard flex lines I am planning on steel braided lines from either Russell or Earl's. Can anyone recommend one or the other? How long do the flex lines need to be for a 289 FIA? I am working on the front suspension only, at this time.
