    The only thing you would have to change is the front upper 
spring cap, which is the smaller diameter on all Rocco's after about 
79.  The car will sit higher though, unless maybe if you have a 16v 
motor and some more weight in the rear.  Oh yeah, the strut 
bearings are the same and the strut housings will work with either 
spring. 

 have a Rocc'n day!
