Ok, so I'm looking to get a set of 80/60 lowering springs & shocks for my mk3. PhilJ is waiting on 80mm springs so delivery will take a few weeks. I'm impatient so found a set on eBay. They say they will fit mk1, 2 & 3 but the ad only states from 1979 - 93! And my mk3 is an M plate 94 polo coupe match! Here's the ad description;

No mate, that's my old mk4. It's a mk3 polo couple match. Also known as a 2f I think.

Item no is 130475724424.

Cheers :)

this will be because they made 6n's in 94 too so to clear it up he will have put up to 93, 94 models are no different

haha just maken sure, i dont know much about the mark3s, but as vw+swfc said theres an overlap in the two modles, the made mk3s into the early months of 94. basicaly yes they should fit no bother.

Thanks guys! I've bought them, will let you know how i get on

I thought you were onto a winner there as I was planning on ordering a set from Phil J, but I've just spotted something on the eBay ad....

"Estimated delivery time: 20-32 WORKING days"

Think I'll order a Phil J kit!

i just got this exact same kit, got to me in like 10days and was really good :)

I've had PhilJ kits before. They're great! But he hasn't got any 80mm springs fir a couple of weeks, and I've got tight deadlines! I phoned east Germany customs (the guys selling the kits) and estimated delivery was within a week, and 100s of people have left feedback saying they revived them sooner :) so I'll let you know x
