RE: Rear Disk Swap
It's a direct bolt in. If you really insist on keeping the stock axle, then you might as well go all out and do a 5-lug swap with sn95 brakes.

If your car was an auto it's already f-ed with the T5 swap. Also the 8.8 manual from the 87-88 TC has 3.55 gears, the 7.5 has 3.45... so it's close
