Default Not Mustang, Thunerbird Turbo Coupe question

alright, heres one for all the tech gurus to scratch there heads over, as everone may know, or not know, the brake system on the thunderbird turbocoupes in 87 and 88 were a particularly fickle creature to say the least......ie pieces of ****.....now, with the rather large cost of the replacement parts for this issue what is one todo.......

basically im looking for a way to eliminate the autmated brake bull**** that came in these cars, so far my only thought that may work is a 5.0 t-bird booster and master setup, run it through a adjustable proportioning valve, and tune it just so to where its good. or are there any other proven methods that someone may know about, seen on a bar napkin, idc where the idea comes from, whether it be from ur mind or a prefabbed kit, AND manage to keep the active suspension functional, feel free time chim in it will be greatly appreciated

Goto www.turbotbird.com and click on 'Tech Articles'.
Scroll down to middle of page under 'Suspension/Brakes' and click on 'Converting ABS to Vacuum Assist'.
