mk5/5b and mk6 front springs and shocks are totally different. Not sure if whole mk6 front strut assembly would fit tho. As for rears......dunno.

I got wrong springs delivered from Woodford Garage last week. Marked up 1992-95 which would be mk5/5b, no chance the fronts were fitting mk6 struts, different shape and diameter.
