GTI coilovers on a leon FR - YES or NO !?????

[true-blue]

Does anyone know if Coilovers for the MK5 golf will fit a current shape Leon Fr Tdi ??

Having sold my ED30 and bought the wife a new van I'm now hacking around in a 57 plate leon FR Tdi (170). It's Completely standard at the moment buit will be getting the bluefin treatment anyday now. I've also picked up some 18''s, Team Dynamic GTO's, similar to Pro Race 1.2's but not quite as light - not heavy though (look good on a Leon)

Want to lower it and there's a few sets of Coilovers in the classifieds (Johny C etc) that are tempting me, but does anyone know if they'll fit ??

I know some aspects of the Mk5 and Leon are very similar, but don't know if the platforms are the same ?

Really miss my ED30, but I'm driving with quite a heavy foot in the FR and while it's no rocket ship it's fairly effective in most real world situations and it's giving me 35mpg with 'loon' driving  and way above that with steady motorway stuff.  It's a good compromise, but not a real world dream car like the 30.

the leon and mk5 platform are the same, it would be the different engine weights you need to look at with the suspension kits. I'd cross check the part no's for the kits with the suppliers and see if they are the same bettween the ED30 and FR

Was the golf petrol or an oil burner ?.

I had the same car and had the Koni FSD kit with Eibach springs, sure i sold them to a gti owner.
