mk2 coilovers on 93 mk3 gti
« on: 19 February 2010, 23:51 »
hi guys

have read a few things about mk2 & mk3 suspension being inter-changable. 

i have a pair of front coilovers for a mk2 golf which were intended for a caddy van project which did not materialise. :cry:

so will they fit directly on my 93 mk3 gti?

any advice welcome.......

Coilovers will yes, however the mk2 top mount is wrong but easy enough to change.
