What are the specs on the 1997 Thunderbird's sport suspension package? I know about thre 11.5" rotors, larger sway bars, the basics really. What size are these sway bars? Would the Addco 1 1/4" and a strut tower brace make a noticeable difference in handling? Eibachs are planned when I step up to 17" wheels, but what shocks go best with this setup? Also, I've seen the 17" Torque-Thrust-style Bullitt Mustang wheels on Custom Wheel Outlet (http://www.customwheelsmarket.com/ford-oem-style-and-replica-wheels-bullitt-style.html). Does anybody have a car with these wheels and can you eithetr post or e-mail me a good pic? Thanks.

Yes, the 1.25" sway bar and a good shock tower brace will make the car feel much better. It'll be a lot flatter in the turns and resist the urge to push so much.

Do you mean that you have to have the sport package for 97 to have the 11.5" brakes? If so, i'll be mad.. lol

ya, probably. the sports and xr7 had the larger brakes and larger bars. i put a 1.25" bar on the rear of my car and it made quite a bit of difference from the stock sport bar. buy one, they're cheap to buy, and are quite nice, very heavy duty feeling too.

cant say much about the bars and brace, my sport bars are still stock, but i can offer a pic of bullit wheels on a bird...
