Default Aftermarket for the 2.3

I was looking for a few aftermarket things for my 2.3 but i have some questions

I see things like Cold Air intakes and whatnot. But most of them are for the 2.3 on the Ford Ranger. Is that compatible with the 2.3 in my car?

Most of the 2.3 parts are all interchangeable. Things like Cold air intakes vary due to the body of the car. Sometimes they have to change where they route stuff from car to truck.

Ok. Now that i figured out the intake part. I'm looking for lowering springs. It's not hard to find 5.0 ones, but once again, I find myself in a dark room because of the type of Mustang i have. I suppose I could modify the springs, but personally, I'm not the most handy guy. Anyone know my options here?

just keep asking and youll keep finding ha. and you could probably use5.0 springs they would just be stiffer to handle more weight up front

you can use the 5.0 springs they fit fine. a lot of the drag guys will put 4 banger springs in the front of their cars.

I already got me some aftermarket ones. They should give me a 1.5in drop. Which will look decent and help alot for what I'm doing with the car right now
