Now i'm sure i've seen this before but could someone just confirm whether it is correct or not. I've found a suspension kit but the description says fiesta XR2i/RsTurbo suspension kit... will this fit my Si, its a koni kit with "front top adjustable struts with springs". need to check before I buy and cant fit it ![]() the sale ends later today so any help would be brilliant Cheers guys |

Nope, theyre for mk3 where as the si is a mk3.5, the shell is different. Iv known people to do some modification to get them to fit but i dont know much about that. |

Cheers, that's saved me some money and a lot of hassle. Shame though as it looked good and was pretty cheap. Oh well, got to keep looking ![]() |

you can fit the mk3 suspension to a mk3.5 you need to shim out the bottom of the shock out by 0.6mm and as said you get what u pay for with suspension |

Arent the coilovers overkill for us mere road users. I want it lowered but with just springs doesnt it wreck the shocks really quikly. I also agree with Louimeister i want a lowered car with better handling without breaking my back at every pothole and speedbump |
