Title: 1986 Turbo coupe suspension and brake questions
Post by: Snatchrick on November 25, 2005, 09:39:19 PM
Is there and difference in the suspension and brakes on th 86's compared to the 87-88? Besides the rear drums (86)to disks (88). I'm getting rid of the 1988 5.0 converted coupe and want to grab any parts (upgrades) I can before it leaves.

yes, the 87-88 has


11" front disc brakes /your 86 has 10"

I belive the sway bars and springs are similer if not the same.

make sure to grab the struts also or a set of mustang struts so you can use the later spindles.

dont forget the entire axle, all the ebrake stuff. and i'd grab the swaybars to, just incase if not to sell. anybody with a base or without a rear bar will buy one for cheap just because the car handles like  with out it.
