MK3 1.4 suspension question

[El_Presidente]

  I have a 1.4 abd, it has the early type shocks and springs with the coil tapering at the top end to go a bit thinner, i managed to get some lowering springs but they stay wide at the top end to fit the later type shocks, can i just get some later shocks and top plates and fit them them to my car to enable me to use the lowering springs i have bought, will they be direct fit?

cheers

yes...just remember to use later top mounts too
