u could alway get a tbird turbo coupe rear 4lug rear disc if u get it from an auto car it will have 3.73's the manual cars have 3.55's then get some svo/mark7 calipers!

that is an idea. but i was thinking about something i could buy with a warenty or something.

so u have to swap out rearends? theres no way to just replace the drums with disks?

stainless steel brakes has a kit for 4 or 5 lug rear disk conversions, I got the 4 lug one and it took around 6 hours to install it, and $980
check it out at www.ssbrakes.com
that link should work.

there are a couple other companies that sell the kits but are super expensive.
the ford motorsport one is $1900
the baer kits are over $2000


and a very good upgrade is the svo calipers in the front with some ceramic pads.
before I changed to 4 wheel disk, I wasnt sure if I could stop in time.
now I can stop mabye 100 feet sooner.(not that much, but it feels like it)

you can piece together what you want from these guys.

They have conversions on summit, california mustang, etc. They're really not TOO expensive (all around $900) I don't know why everyone is saying they're $2,000. I'm gonna buy myself a set soon.

u can take the axels/and disc brake parts out of a tbird turbo coupe rear for a junkyard swap if u wanna keep 4lug or take them out of an svo mustang or lincoln mark 7 for a 5lug junkyard swap
