mk2 shocks/springs on a mk3

[Diluxe]

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

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?
