The watts link cars (98+) use the watts link to laterally locate the axle since the control arms are parallel the springs are the same before 2003.

To install a watts link rear you would have to take the rear section of the frame off a 98+ car , but swapping the entire frame is less work. And not worth it unless you want it. A panhard bar is just as effective

fronts are coil springs, not bags. rear shocks stay in the same place.

if you dont want to pull them from a junkyard you can still buy the springs form a parts store or the ford dealer, but from the dealer you will need to order them for like a 99 crown vic.

or you can order aftermarket race springs for $50 each
