I think by now most people know about the 92-96 Crown Vic rear disk swap, but how about the newer style (dont know year range)? Will they work as well? The reason I ask is I was at my local U-pick yard today and yesterday and there was a 2003 Police Interceptor turned Taxi turned civilian turned junker, and to my surprise, the rear disks were not only ventilated, but cross drilled and slotted! The rotors were obviously not stock, but stock ones would still have been ventilated versus the older solid disks. The 03 car also had a parallel 4-link suspension with a boss cast into the top of the differential for the Watts link, versus the older style angled 4-link. The brakes looked basically identical, except for the fact that now both calipers sit on front of the axle, with a left and right side. The older ones just used the same bracket on both sides, or at least the same caliper, passenger side caliper in front, drivers side in back of the axle. Im really thinking about going back in the next couple days to grab the caliper brackets, but with a posi it may (or may not) be hard to get the axle C-clip out. So if they wont work, or will take significant modifications to make it work, I wont bother.
Also, just as food for thought, the new center section has a big boss cast into the top of it for the Watts-link it now uses. So for the budget corner carvers among us, it may be a good axle to get- brakes, posi, and all, then just narrow it to fit and add required brackets.

Well, autozone lists them at about $100 each, and thats with a core. Not hideously expensive I guess, but certainly more than the $60 a pair the older ones go for. Looks like Ill just sell the bling rotors I got along with the HD steel piston calipers/lines. Thanks guys!
