    depends on age/model/engine, but physically mk2 and corrado rear springs are the same fitment. so for example early corrado G60/KR has exactly same rear springs as mk2 4 door 16v/G60. the later corrado and vr6 springs differ, but would swap to a mk2 golf still

    Thanks RG,got to get hold of some stock ones,currently have a set that lowered the rear by 20mm from memory but they have had it and are coil bound so are junk.
    Cheers.

    What about mk3 8v rear springs??...could be an option as not having had much to do with mk2's for a while I now find parts for them are rather thin on the ground, however there are many mk3's being dismantled as in my country as they weren't that popular and have shit resale value so are often worth more in parts.

    mk3 also same fit but again will be a little different spring rate as they are heavier cars
