Title: will Mk5 coilovers fit on mk6 ?
Post by: mikebgti on July 01, 2010, 05:17:49 pm

I am changing my mk5 for a mk6 does any body know if the coilovers are the same? I have Kw v3 off my mk5 R32 an was hoping they would fit my mk6 gti. I know damping and spring rates may be different but are they the same fit.

I would be checkin spring rates etc, they will be different from an R32 to a GTI. Physically I'm sure they would fit though
