I had a low mileage eibach/koni setup from my old mk2 16v that I scrapped, the old dears mk3 cl needs new shocks up front , i know the springs rate etc will be different but what do I need to allow me to use my mk2 stuff?
-
I think all you need to do is change the front top mounts and spring plates.
-
is the spring plate the one that stops the shock falling through or coming up ?

the top spring plate :smiley:

Yeah you just need early mk3 top spring plates, slotted nut, washer, and top mount, which is same as mk2, as I did this recently and used g60 top mounts.. :)
-
if the mk3 is pre mid 95 then it will use the same top plates and mounts (it's the pig tail that changed, I think later are 65mm and early mk3/mk2 are 80mm)
-
so the motor is an R reg which is 1997 so this is defo the mk3 stuff right?

later type with the smaller sping plates...new plates (a few ££ from gsf/ecp or even vw) and top mounts will be ok (although while it's off I would swap them for new one's from a vr6)

cheers buddy, will I need spring clamps?
