MK3 Golf 1.8 8V coilovers on a Corrado 1.8 16V?

[shaunje 10]

As the title says, done a bit of googling but not got a decent trustworthy answer yet... Any help?

[shaunje 10]

boinggggggg...

 

Any ideas people? Going to start doing the swap tomorrow!

Will be a straight swap. As long as you switch the top mounts for mk3 ones at the same time

[shaunje 10]

put MK3 top mounts on the corrado?

[owen g60 10]

Yep. They're the same as the vr6 corrado ones

If I take my mates top mounts too off his MK3 then, will my corrado ones be ok on his car?

MK3 Coilovers are longer on the rear, they will fit and you'll get low. But not as low as you would on Corrado ones. Depending on the Coilovers obviously as some go lower than others. Food for thought.

 

Also the top mounts are interchangeable as the body mounts are identical between Corrado models and MK3's.. Personally I prefer the early style as found on the 1.8 16v's as they seem a little more robust and have a internal beating compared to the Pwarp plastic one on the VR.

Nice one mate! I'll try it out and see how it goes, hopefully I still get a bit of damping on the rear rather than a solid bar effect!
