I installed the rear 4lug disc SSBC kit on my 86GT...It was really easy and they use Ford parts...The hardest thing was bending the brake line...
If I were to do it again, I would try and get the vented rotors instead of the solid ones....

Just get a disc brake unit out of a T-Bird Supercoupe for less than $300 and you are set!

Thats what I did and it looks mean to the way it sits. Plus if you get one from a 87-88 Automatic TC you will have free 373

Vented and solid rotors refer to the middle section of the rotor as you are looking at the top of the rotor...You're getting mixed up with the cross drilled and slotted brake pad surface on the rotor...
