    Physically most of it will but the spring rates and damping rates will be wrong.\

    Again the spring and damping rates will be for the MK3 which is a heavier car than the MK2. This will end up being a more expensive option, than buying the right suspension up front.

    I have messed about doing this kind of thing myself in the past and it often goes wrong. Do yourself a favour and utilise the benefit of my 16 years modifying VWs. It'll be less trouble in the long run, honestly.

    if they're the hottuning coilovers, they dont make different spring and damper rates for the mk2 and mk3. and yes they'll physically fit.
