Err=85 I just wanted to say something about this=85
=20
My car is an 85, originally equipped with a 1.8 8v. It now has a 1.8 =
16v.
Still has stock suspension. My front end sits exactly the same height =
that a
stock (87) 16v does.=20
=20
Not that I really care, but I thought I=92d mention it. I=92m sure =
aftermarket
springs are a lot more different than stock.=20

Both the Mk1 and Mk2 Sciroccos are A1 chassis cars. You can absolutely =
swap
the suspensions back and forth. However... this is not advisable =
between 8v
and 16v-equipped cars. The 16v motor is heavier by a fair margin. This
changes your ideal spring rates. That is, springs tuned for an 8v car =
will
sag under the weight of a 16v. The handling will be affected =
accordingly.
