The crown vic rear discs look like crap. One is mounted on the front of the rotor and one is mounted rear. If you are going to the trouble of putting disc brakes on the rear, it is for looks, so by default, you will put wheels on that show the brakes. CV brakes were never designed to be seen...only to stop cop cars and taxis. The fact that they will vastly differ from right to left side of the car would bug me. I'm glad this guy has time to go pull junk brakes off old CV cars at a picknpull, but I'd never put that setup on a car I wanted to keep. I suggest that you keep the drum until you can afford a real kit. You will waste money getting a crappy setup to work when you plan on replacing it anyway in the future. Meanwhile, the factory rear drums are more than sufficient to stop a lightweight Mustang.
