1987 ThunderBird Lx Project Reply #1 – September 17, 2013, 09:52:46 PM Great looking car. Welcome to the forum. As far as brakes....the larger Mustang GT brakes or Turbo Coupe brakes. The '87/'88 TC has the same size brakes as the Stang, AND, it had disc brakes out back. Quote Selected

The Mustang seem to have more performance shock selection.Many members have used sn95 springs successfully (94-04) and spindles/axles and brakes to convert to 5 lug. Have to do some changing around with master cylinders if going to rear disc brake but there is alot that can be done. Quote Selected
