they will fit but you need mk2/early mk3 spring cups. the biggest issue you may have is the mk3 lardy weight compared to the mk2 so spring rates will be off (basically mk2 -60mm front springs may lower it even more?)

Mk2 will fit but unless you fitting a matched set up you will and can cause issues
