im looking for lowering springs for a 92' mk3 but it never says its for a mk3,on sites would the 86c be the same as a mk3,sorry if im being stupid but i dont want to buy the wrong part

86c is actually the mk2 but because the mk3 is a facelift of the mk2 the code is 86c 2f.....but then the suspension is all the same for m2-3's anyway so the kits should fit as long as it's the correct model shape, e.g the saloon sometimes has different kits :wink:

but then feel free to post up any prospective kits and i'm sure someone can confirm they will fit :D

these guys are quite highly regarded, got springs for about £70 but if you're going more than about 40mm you're going to need uprated shocks too mate :wink:
