i have a set JOM coilovers for mk1 that i have used for 2-3 months and in market for some for mk2. if things dont work out your end with return /refund we may do a deal with exchange +-
Im happy to do some sort of deal, i guess it all depends on the condition of the coilovers, and if the perch nuts are still in good condition, as i dont want to get stuck with crappy nuts down the line.
If you could let me know asap so i know what to do with them, as i have to get back to the supplier asap.
MK 2 suspension wont work in a mk 1! Don't modify anything, or try and make them fit in anyway!
Hey mate, can you share your reasoning for this?
What's the height of the coilover George? Mine are already in the car (and a different brand) but you might be able to use these numbers for some reference?
Adjustable thread length = 180mm
Height from bottom bolt of shock to underneath of strut tower = ~390mm (currently spring sits pretty close half way up on thread).
Sorry I couldn't get fully un-tensioned lengths for you. If the heights are close I'd just modify and use them.
Being so cheap I wouldn't be surprised if the spring rates were the same across many models either.

the coilovers are only a few months old with very little use over the period.
mate, as i said take it up with the seller first and if no good will go from there.

I've owned enough mk 1's and a mk 2 (and well, a mk 3 which shares the same suspension design as the mk 2) to know that.
IF, IF you had a set of 16V mk 2 hubs, you might be able to use mk 2 struts in a mk 1, but even then, the length is significantly longer, springs rates would be off etc.
Woudn't be worth it, since you can just buy mk 1 coilovers.
Ok guys the supplier has came back to me with an offer.
It seams the rear ones fit, as they are the right ones. But the front ones are for a mk2 caddy. So they are offering me to pay extra on top, and they will send new mk1 coilovers to me, and let me keep to the front mk2 coilovers to sell. Now, im thinking its ridiculous, as who the hell would want to buy only front coilovers?
But anyway should i decline and ask for a full new set at their cost or?
its their screw up call the freight company and tell them the package isn't for you and you will return to sender? make sure they have sent the replacement coilovers first though

Double check fitment for rear as mk2 rears are way to longer than mk1's

Yep you are right. I put wheels on and lowered the car with the rear coilovers, and it sat really high off the ground, and the setting was wound all the way down.
