Sorry for having a blonde moment. I'm looking at putting coilovers on my classic and wondering if later model struts are different to classics???!!? A set on eBay brand new for 07 on for 99 p so wondering if these will fit my car. Help please!!!

Hi there

Depends if they're for 01-05 then will fit yours,if they're for 05-07 then will not fit,just due they're have different PCD(5X114.3),although they will fit with some modifications to the hubs or if you swap the legs on the coilovers to the 5X100

For a gdf 2007 on so won't fit and too much messing with hubs and wheels. May as well buy a set that's right for mine

Hi there

You can fit them,but you will need alter hubs for them,redrill hubs or make some sort of the spacers for them,but if you don't want to mess with this,then you will need GC/GF or GD/GG 01-04 coilovers

Depends on car is used,but I would go with KYB AGX and Eibach/Swift springs and you will have nice combo for day to day driving

Ill see what they sell for. If really cheap might as well buy them. Can always move them on if too much messing

Hi Jura thanks for advice. The holes that need altering in hub is it the ones the bolts go through to fasten hub to strut? I work in a machine shop so getting holes elongated wont be problem

Hi there

You will need to alter this on front,rear you don't to alter(rear are same like on 5x100 or 5x114.3)

Ok Jura no problem. Think I'm going to buy them and alter hubs as they are really cheap at min. Will keep eye on them. Thanks again
