will gtir dampers fit directly onto a 1.6 sr?
(along with the springs)

Why would you want to?

A gtir is a lot heavier than a 1.6sr so the damper settings would make the 1.6sr handle very badly if they can be fitted.

Better off finding suspension suited for the car rather than someone elses cheap cast offs.

there my cheap cast offs, from my gtir which is getting uprated suspension. I thought harder springs and shocks would make it handle better.

It would probably just bounce around more as the springs and dampers would be rated too high for the weight of the sr.

I don't think the fittings are the same either.

hi, you can only fit gti-r coilovers onto the sr or gti model, you can only fit front suspension from a gti-r onto the sr or gti, the back suspension will not go on, only if coilovers as you can adjust them to fit.
I say just leave the sr as it is

As Andrew said you will be able to fit the front suspension onto the SR but not the rears.

Get a set of Koni for the SR, I had PI springs on my SR a few years back.

Good to see you back again Bruce, any news on your car?
