Mk2 rears will fit the mk1b with a bit of grinding of the holes, the shock tubes fit the 1b bottom but mk1a need spacers and washers welding to the bottom of the shock tube to stop the bolts rattle ing about, the fronts won't different orentation and spacing are way out, all mk1 bottom front will take a mk2 shock bottom.

If you want to fit mk1 camber plates on to mk2 shocks there a nightmare, as some tubes on the mk2 are too thick to go in the bearings on the top plates while other damper tubes fit straight in, bit of a lottery on that one, try measuring if you can first the damper tube.

And to get some that are secondhand and try taking of the top plate off, you need special tools and a bloody good air gun to move the top plates on coil overs.
