is it better for me to keep the fact that I have Polo (same as Mk2) coilovers fitted to my Mk3, to myself? lol

the difference is that Mk3 front suspension have wider springs. they also have a large disc which serves as the top bearing.

The polo/Mk2 fronts have a skinier spring with a small round bearing on it, much like the Leon does.

I got my hands on some polo ones which I thought would fit. I obviously ran into the spring problem, so I made them fit.

but as said, best off to get proper ones.

Note: rears fit fine. no difference there

yes but hooch, I bought the topmounts and bearings for the mk2, but the topmounts didn't fit the mk3?

so I'm now on mk2 coilovers with mk3 topmounts and mk2 bearings lol
