I would like to replace the standard brakes on my 57 bird with power disc's.
Can anyone recomend a good vendor for the complete parts kit, including all lines ?

The TBird vendors have kits. Some come with oversize rear cylinders to compensate for the front discs so you don't need a separate proportioning valve.

I like this kit. Spindles stay the same doesn't lower the front and not that expensive.

Hi, I have bolt on disc brake kits for your t bird, also have drop spindles and disk brakes. Your choice of drop 1 1/2" or 2 1/2" also have dual master with power brakes for your t bird. Keep in mind that you will have to relocate your battery to the trunk if you go with power brakes. If i can help give me a call. Dave 818 572 5302 drop"em & stop"em
