Hello everyone!Let me start by sayin im a newb in the tc world lol.Just got a 92 towncar and lovin it.I have a few questions.Is there anyway to hook up the air ride in the rear to turn the compressor on and relase the air with a switch?I ask cause I like the way it rides when its saggin in the back I know im crazy lol but I would like to be able to switch it back and forth when I want.Now for my other questions.My power mirrors wont work is there anything i should look for?Same with the locks when I hit unlock on the door panel it works but it wont lock them.Last but not least is there any good sites somone can share with some aftermarket parts.I would like to get a new front grille and some other parts.Thanks

All you need to do is wire a rocker switch from your compressor to your interior. If you need some more details on the procedure just let me know. As for aftermarket stuff. Try either Rockauto.com or do a search for lincoln parts international. Both of them have some pretty decent prices on aftermarket parts.

Well Ford does offer firmer air springs. They have them on the Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis, Sport/HPP (handling and performance package). They are available form 1995-2002. And yes those bags will fit.

All air springs are the same on the full size Fords so look for those and they may be a little fimer.

Or another option is to get rid of the air springs for regular steel coils. That would certainly give you what you are looking for. The Crown Victoria Police Interceptor vin#p71 would have a firmer spring than regualer base model CVs.

Good Luck.
