Postby adamaca » Wed, 25 Feb 2009 6:47 +0000

Hi lads does anyone know if this will work?
A set of ohlins coilovers originally from a mk2 r.s onto a 1.6 mk1?

You need MK2 top mounts to make it work

Understand that if you are fitting these yourself, the top nut on the damper is not tightened to the same torque as MK1 in fact that will break it. They are tightened till the gap between the two flanges is 10mm (I think that is right from memory)
