Lee,
I was recently lucky enough to get my paws on the MOOG spring catalog, and was able to pick out all of the springs that they sell that would fit my cougar (or your bird) So... how stiff do you want them? I think currently they're 325 lb/in in the front and 235 or something like that in the rear. The stiffest I've found for the rear are 266, so there isn't too much improvement there. But if you're crazy enough you can go all the way up to 1000 lb/in on the fronts! (Springs from some old dodge pickup trucks fit our cars)
I would reccomend something in the 750 lb/in category for the fronts, and then get LTD station wagon springs for the rear (262 lb/in), and then figure out how to put a pretty massive rear swaybar on! I've heard that you can put the front swaybar on the back if you modify the end links...
Hope some of this info helps! Let me know if you want me to look up any specific springs for you.
Mike
