[Mk2] [Turbo] Are these springs/dampers suitable?

Post by dervbas »

Found this set of all four struts/springs that are said to come off a 1991 turbo. That is a Rev2 right?

The description says it is "bilstein" originals so does that mean they are lower than other OEM sets?

I intend to stick these on my Rev1 turbo since mine are going to fail MOT. Bolt straight onto a Rev1, right?

Thanks for looking.

hiya

yes, rev1 was 1989-1991

rev2 was 1991-1993 but there are always models that are on the edge, eg. 1994 rev2s and so on.

anyway, rev2 turbos came will bilsteins, so that settles it.


I'm not sure if they're lower than a rev1. I recall ride hide dropped perhaps around rev 3 time, but it will probably be marginal.

they will bolt directly onto a rev1. my rev 3 turbo has rev1 struts (rebuildable) on it with no problem.
