Anyone know the difference in 2.3 and 5.0 shocks/struts?

[Jugador]

i have a 93 4 cylinder and found some V8 red koni front and rear shocks for a good price and am wondering what would need to be changed to get them to fit. he also has some what he believes to be c springs for sale for a good price and i was wondering what would need to be done to fit those also. thanks.

The front spindles, rotors and calipers would need to be changed. The 5.0 has a thinner mount at the spindle for the strut. The bonus is you get larger front brakes.

the rear shocks on a 4 banger will match up, but will require a new bolt, lockwasher, and nut, since the old bolt and sheet pin are not long enough.
