wishbones and hubs are different on the mk3.5
so a mk3 kit won't fit the mk3.5 unless you put shims in to make up the gap. ask happypaul

what is the difference in terms of suspension kit, say like, pre 94 - 95 and post 94 - 95. for example if you bought a suspension kit for pre 94, would it fit post 94? and vice versa i would thought the bit that holds the damper in place is all the same in mk3 fiestas. |

Around the base of the suspension. mk3 struts are slightly thinner than 3.5 |

so the rest of the damper would fit, just that little gap needed? |
