X-Series 87-88 Ford Thunderbird Front Drag Racing Brakes (w/ New Aluminum Hub)

TBM’s brand-new X-Series Drag Brakes represent the latest update and addition to a legacy of industry-leading stopping power. Designed for racers who demand unmatched performance and stopping power paired with minimal weight, the X-Series brings a new look, even more weight savings, and more. These new brake kits come with all components black anodized throughout and will continue to be paired with our Revolution steel top fuel alloy rotors as well as new carbon rotor offering.

Precision-Engineered Calipers for Maximum Strength


The DR1X, F1X, and F3X calipers launch this new platform with a full 7075 billet Aluminum construction. This material delivers exceptional strength and durability that meet the high strength and performance standards TBM customers expect from our traditional forged calipers. Every X-series caliper is finished with our proprietary hard coat black anodizing process for a sleek, ultra-durable true-black appearance.

All-New High-Performance Brake Pad Compound


After more than a year of testing across nearly every drag-racing discipline, we’re proud to introduce our newest pad compound. Racers consistently report:

  • Better high-temperature performance than our best-selling #1 compound
  • Similar pedal feel and stopping power to #1 compound
  • Dramatically longer pad life thanks to an elevated thermal ceiling and normal operating temperature wear characteristics.

Each pad is now built on a true pin-retained backing plate, ensuring secure, consistent performance run after run.

This front brake kit for a 87-88 Ford Thunderbird is for mounting to a stock disc brake style spindle.

Included in this kit:

  • Billet F1X 2 piston calipers 002-0054XAP-1 002-0054XAP-2
  • #96 Compound Brake Pads 6-006496
  • 10.75 x .280 steel revolution rotors 3-10753105525D
  • Aluminum caliper mounting brackets 16-0206-1 / 16-0206-2
  • Billet Aluminum Hub (008-101-BL)
  • Timken bearing, races and seals
  • 1/2 -20” wheel studs
  • Mounting Hardware Kit 011-0206

Kit weight: 17.8 lbs

TBM 2 Piston (F1/DR-1) Front Drag Racing Brake Kits are extremely lightweight and are not suitable for use with factory rear brakes/proportioning. They must be used with a properly installed aftermarket-style 4 piston rear brake kit.

 This kit fits:

  • 87-93 Mustang w/ V8 spindles 5 lug
  • 87-88 Thunderbird 4 cylinder spindles 5 lug
  • Racecraft 300102 / 300100 / 300111

Installation Instructions

We recommend using TBM DOT 5.1 Extreme 6 Brake Fluid for all TBM Brake Kits. You'll need at least 4 (12 oz) bottles of fluid when building and plumbing a new system that is empty.

Great little temper
Size: 53mm, Color: Silver
Works great! Only problem is that it doesn’t have that feel of tamping. Wish I had more feedback. It just goes down very easily and doesn’t have that feeling of solid tamping. Now that doesn’t mean it’s not doing its job. Works fine but would like some manual feedback.

Take the guess work out of the flow!
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I got this because when my wife makes espresso, it's watery. When i make it, it's fine. We needed a controlled Tampering method so we both do the same job. This is heavy, and being able to use the whole hand instead of fingers, not much effort is needed. Since we purchased this, we were able to make consistent espresso shots for sure.

Not as good as I expected
When it first came, the box fell apart as I was taking it out, and a lot of some kind of dirt or sand kept falling out all over my table and floor. I had the take the entire thing apart and thoroughly wash it. After drying age reassembling it, I tried it on my portafilter that came with my Breville Barista Express, but, somehow, it doesn't always make the tamping level. You would think with the ridge that rests on the side of the portafilter that it would force it to remain level, but, somehow, it doesn't, at least not consistently. It also has varying lengths (heights, or depths), and a single spring tension, so you may still over tamping or under-tamp. I was expecting it would have a censor that would just detect once it reached 30 lbs of force and cut off after that, similar to a torque screwdriver, but that's not what this is. I'll still give it 3 stars because, despite the problems mentioned above, it at least produces some amount of consistency, even if that isn't measurable; but, I can't give it 5 stars because of those issues mentioned above.
