No I cant confirm that they will fit.

But I can confirm that they wont.

not true.

I have them fitted. They have a skinnier front spring and disc on top of that, so you need to get the bearings for the MK2 model as well, as your original bearing doesn't sit on the disc, resulting in a 'clunking' sound

 

[Reuvers]

the bearing for the mk2 is identical to the leon ones (see DPJ's guide for fitting coilovers)

Wouldn't think that the rear would fit even if the front does with some modification.

Why not just buy mk3 specific ones.

 

[Reuvers]

you're absolutely right. But I'm saying that if a bargain came up or something you might wanna buy it. That's what I did not knowing it came from the previous model. But, when I read on here that it doesn't fit, I have to inform others that thats not entirely correct.

Rear is no different. They are skinny for previous model and on ours.

Like said, front you need a different bearing (skinny one). Actually you also need different top mounts to house the bearing perfectly, which I did get but they were too small to fit the three screws where you put upper strut brace...

so I left the OEM ones and put the bearing in that. works fine, and as said no more horrible clunking like when I drove without bearing

Note though: if you're buying new then obviously opt for the right model
