Are the k-members and a-arms and struts on a 84 turbo coupe the same as a fox body mustang or are they 3/4 of an inch wider like the sn cars.Is the rearend the same width as a fox mustang also or is it wider like the sn and are the upper and lowers the same as a mustang and what about springs front and rear.I know everything about a mustang but not alot about the thunderbird I bought to fix up for somthing cool and different for around here so any help I could get is greatly appreciated.The reason for all the ? is I have all mustang stuff to put in the thunderbird if it is the same, disk brake rear 13in fronts with spindels and all from a 94 Cobra along with a inj.351w 5 speed if all this stuff will fit.Will I also need a cowl hood or not to clear the int.it is a factory cobra setup.Thanks

The front arms are the same as the Fox Mustangs...

As for the rest of the stuff, look around the site....it has all been covered pretty much. You can bolt the SN-95 spindles onto the Fox balljoints by either using a couple washers under the castle nut or swapping out for SN-95 ball joints.

The rear axle will have the same track width as what is in the car and be a drop in aside from rigging up the brake lines.
