Think they mount exactly the same so that shouldnt be an issue. GTI suspension setup is 15mm lower than standard I believe. (or is it 10mm).  :undecided:
Classic Green Corrado VR6 Storm | Jetex Cat back | BMC CDA | VT mounts | Bilstein B12 | 288mm front brakes | Mk4 rear brakes | Goodridge braided hoses | BBS RX228s | Shortshifter | Lupo wipers | Uprated headlight loom | All red rears | Refreshed leather | Fresh paint |

10mm lower, no issues with fitting them, Shady fitted my old GTI set up to his old GL

Yes or just the complete GTI shocks / springs.
