    Rear Brake Specifications

    Hello all - I started my MK IV kit in 2019 and have finally got the car across the finish line but still solving minor issues. I have the standard FF 11.65 rear brake kit installed but wanted to consider some different brake pads. From what I can glean from the forum the rear brake calipers are probably from the 1987-88 Thunderbird but I'm not sure if this is correct. Can anybody clarify what I have and what brake pads would be a correct replacement. Sorry if this is a very basic question but I can't find any part number references and the 99-04 Cobra/Mach1 pads don't match the caliper. Thanks for any help.

    Thanks - looks like the pads for the Thunderbird as well. The rotor is almost 26mm thick (1.01 in), the 83 - 84 cobra/mach1 match identified in the brake kit are are thinner at 18 mm (.709 in). Any ideas on what the rotor supplied with the kit came from?
