if you have coilovers they will prob fit straight onto them, just need the MK3 GTI threaded bush. if std shocks then you need early mk3 gti upper spring plate as well

1H0 412 341 - MK3 GTI upper spring plate, small size
1H0 412 365 A - threaded bush
N 105 352 01- top nut

paul had problems with these on his mk3 track car, have a look in the trackday section

i had some jom mk2 style ones years ago and they were excellent, but the bearings only lasted 6 months, don't think they are really designed to work with the impact from poly, although the mk3 bearings might put up more resistance
