The fittment of the shock absorbers across the classic range is identical from 1993 to 2001.

You will find however, that the damping rate of s/absorbers from a non turbo car is much softer, they will fit, but they wont match your springs and the car proberly won't handle very well, or could even be dangerous if you try and corner at speed.

So, Yes, Anything will fit, but try and stick with s/aborbers from a Turbo.

If you end up getting units from an import then you will find that the ride is a bit stiffer.

Hope that helps
Phil
