Title: 8v GTI suspension struts fit on a driver???
Post by: Mk3 Matt on 05 February 2008, 00:09

can anyone tell me for sure if a set of struts and springs from a P reg 8v GTi would fit on my L reg 1.8 driver

I've heard that the design of the springs changed after 1994 but did they change the spec of the struts too??

really appreciate some help on this, cus i'm finding it very hard to find some standard suspension and someone has a set of these, but i dont wanna get em to find i cant use them.

Cheers
Matt.

the later ones had smaller pig tails,  the strut its self is the same,  you can do a direct swap if the shock and spring is all as one..  Or you will need a matching spring cap.
