I'm not 100% sure to be honest but I'm guessing they don't as when you get after market springs and shocks you have to specify mk1 or mk1 cab. Sorry I couldn't be anymore help.  :)

Hi,

I looked into the suspension replacement for my cab and all the companies I called had different codes for Mk1's and Mk1 Cabs suspension, so I am sure they are different, but in what why I have no idea. To find out it's worth calling TSR or C&R and ask them - they can confirm.

C&R Enterprises - 0115 978 5740 (speak to Andrew, Roy or Steve)
TSR - 01278 453036
Old Skool Mk1 Golf Gli (82), Mk1 US Cab 85 and 83
SOLD - BLACK SOY 92

Physically I would have thought they would be the same. I suspect it may have something to do with the cab being heavier :-\
