Would the coilovers from the front of a mk3 caddy van fit a mk3 golf?

Doubt it as the early Caddy was Polo Based, later ones are very different.

The spring rate and damping will be all wrong for a mk3 tbh.

Maybe they will but as I said the spring / damper rates will be all wrong.

Its ok,  the bloke wants £100 for two front joms that are a year old which is silly money so i'm going to save up a bit more and go for some FK's instead.
