It was a pain to bend the brake lines. With the 87 and up kit you also have to change the mastercylinder which is why is costs more. I don't know why you have to change it though. The kit came with everything I needed and the instructions were written so that even a bone head like myself could not screw it up. I upgraded a couple of other things while I was doing it but the results were really impressive. I don't have to really get on it to stop. I drove the car in the mountains for about 3 hours and it was great. The kit comes with 10" rotors and the parts are actually of an 87-88 T-Bird turbo coupe. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Blocker,

The t-bird axles are .75" longer. SSB provides a bracket to use the brakes with your axles. You might be able to just use some spacers?
