Ford ThunderBird Ford thought they'd take their own stab at the nostalgia business. There are quite a few last-century icons that wear the blue oval. For a revival subject, why not use a car famous enough to have been the subject of Beach Boys songs, starred in George Lucas movies, and has been gone long enough to be missed? Why not indeed. In 2002, the Thunderbird was reborn.

Well, to start with , stock brakes on 94 up T-Birds suck! you may have some issues with the ABS, and I am not sure how to correct that, but I put a set of MK VIII discs and calipers on my ride, and the difference is night and day. One caveat, however, the MK VIII"s are bigger, and require 16" wheels. good luck
