Y5A is the engine code for the 2.3 so they should be the right ones.

The 2.3 coil packs are the same coils as the 2.0, the RS2000 & the Galaxy 2.0/2.3 as they all share practically the same engine
Don't know about the Chinese ones, I didn't know they made them in China but the genuine ones are made in Slovenia.
If you are worried about dodgy ones then you can get some genuine ones here.....

A bit pricey but cheaper than they used to be & they're from Essex Ford (FMD), so you know they're the genuine article 
Personally though, I'd be tempted to go for the cheaper £30-£40 ones, as long as they say 'made in Slovenia'

Do they have the same part number ?...if so then they may have switched production to Italy (not too far from Slovenia). If not, then they are probably pattern parts.
Not that there is anything wrong with pattern parts mind you. Some are as good, & in some cases better than original parts.
I said before that I'd only buy them if they said 'made in Slovenia', but as they say 'made in Italy', then I'd probably still buy them
As long as they don't say 'made in China'
