   Thanks guys, thinking of getting one if i get my new job for trackdays and swapping the suspension from the R over to it. Then getting some slightly softer suspension for the road to go on the R.

   Yes but the early 106 used different tops so you have to fit the early type. The drive shafts changed over the years as well. As did the drop link mounts. So it can be a little more complicated to fit than you may think. But yes they can be used.

   I knew about the top mounts and driveshafts, if worst comes to worst then ill just remove the dampers and springs and use them.
   They should fit right? the old 106 didnt use a different damper size or different shaped spring plate?
