yes mk2 suspension is exactly the same as mk3....

although the springs would be model specific probably ie the right spring for the weight of the car etc....


want a pair of raceland buckets with model specific subframes for £150 delivered? go here

Mk3 weights just over 1000kgs.

early mk3 suspension is the same as mk2..... it will fit fine but the front will be lower than when fitted to mk2 due to the car weight (and with the way mk3's sit I wouldn't worry)
