Default Bought an 89' Hatchback today...

hey guys,
well today i went out looking for an old stang and came back home with an 89 5.0 with 130k miles...
runs great mint cond outside and inside...
new tires all around, new battery, brakes, and exhaust.

anyways...the mod bug is getting closer so i want to ask a few questions....
will the lowering springs off of a 2002 mustang fit these? found some sportlines for $80 nearby...

also it may need a fuel pump, what is a good one to get and how hard is it to put on?

thanks guys...

will post pics tommorow...got home kinda late...
