Early 83 Gti suspension, will it fit 1991 cabrio clipper???

Hi
Looking at changing suspension strutsbsoon, what is the mounting differences between early and late mk1's? Can you simply bolt on replacement struts or are they different? :dontknow:  I have the opportunity of some Koni's of an early mk1 but I have a 1991 clipper. Any advice soonest would be great. :dontknow:

hello :)

They should be a straight swap :)
Do it once and do it right! ok, we've identified the problem, lets not make it worse by guessing……… Identifying the sympton is not the same as understanding the cause :)

not quite! the spring plates changed over the years just fyi. o you need to make sure the shocks come with these or the plates from your old shocks may not fit.

i found this out the hard way on my mk1 cab, bought some NOS rear shocks but my old lower plates didnt fit, etka was so confusing in the end i gave up and bought another set with the lower plates included
