Mk3 definitely would, pretty sure mk2 would as we've just taken coilovers off a mk2 and put them on a corrado vr6.

cool i thought mk2/3 would, just in the gsf catalogue they list the same part numbers for rear dampers for mk2 and corrados but different front part numbers didnt know if fronts were different

[VR6 0]

Won't the Mk2 dampers (the fronts at least) have different springs to the VR?

Be a little careful fitting stuff designed for Golf Mk2 onto youe C. As I found out Supersport Coilovers made my car bounce about all over the place and the rebound was awful. After getting a replacement set and exactly the same result i found out that they were designed for the Mk2 Golf and the C is a lot heavier.

the mk2 coilys we put on the rado vr are spot on

I doubt that very much, nnless they are MK2 VR6 spec ones. There is no way MK2 4 cylinder spec suspension is man enough for a VR6.

the rears will be fine if they match the springs (spring rate) you have if they're uprated ones, although when I used uprated gas dampers (intended for a golf 16v) in the back of my C (boge I think) they were far to stiff even for Eibach Corrado springs :?

Many of the VAG front units will fit physically but you're better off with dampers designed to match the rate of the Corrado specific springs, if you can get a set of adjustable dampers (e.g Koni TA's, inserts/legs or coilovers) then you'll be fine with most Corrado springs, I wouldn't use fixed damping legs designed for a golf though, most of the 100kg or so extra weight of the C compared to a golf is up front.

a VR mk2?

 

can't be a 4 cyclinder mk2, VR weighs more than me!!! ;)

Strangely, ETKA lists Mk2 springs as a possible fitment at the front for a VR6 engined C.

 

Other possible fitments for the VR6 at the front also apply to the 2e, 9a and ADY 4-cylinder cars

 

Dampers are the same accross all models (although there are 2 versions at the front.

 

At the rear there are only 2 springs listed - one of which fits all models, while the damper is VR6-specific.

 

So - in theory - an uprated Mk2 suspension set-up ought to be fine on a VR6 Corrado...
