i know that there is a rear brake conversion kit that utilizes pads and rotors from early 90's t-birds. they won't bolt right up, you'll need specific bracketry.

what the **** is a 9 point rear end?lol j/k man. i think you are talking about a 9 inch rear end.. and no. the t-birds didnt have a 9 inch.. they had either a 7.5 inch or an 8.8 inch rear end. i think the brackets and calipers pads and rotors from a turbo coupe t-bird will bolt up.. but i'm not sure.

I have a tbird turbocoupe rear under my mustang with the rear disc and it bolts right up fine and all but its a little bit wider then the stock mustang rear and to put the disc on you need to put atleast a porportioning valve in it for you have enough juice to the rear disc But you need to fab something up for the emergency brake which i still need to do!
