ok is this what i need to switch to disk in the rear?

a 4 lug rear disc brake kit off of a 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. This kit will also fit Ford Mustang GTs and Cobra's. The kit includes axles, calipers, caliper mounting brackets, pads, brake lines, flat mounting brackets, anti-moan brackets, and mounting bolts.



does that look right?

Something I think you should think about is what the future plans are for the car, upgrading to a larger spline axle and better carrier is a must if you plan to make a lot of power or race a lot.....
