   Hi, will a set of coilovers from a early 2000 106 gti fit my 2003 Furio. Not sure if they have different hubs for tapered shafts etc.
   Cheers

   if the hubs are different which they should be then you can replace the wheel bearings in them to suit your shafts

   Just had a look and it appears that the splined part of the hub where the driveshaft sits are different. Is it possible to swap the coilover hubs over to suit my Furio driveshafts.

   Just dismantle the coilovers and use your struts. Unless the threaded collar has been welded on...

   The coilovers can be used on any saxo/106 any year.

    As Josh suggests, which coilovers are they? Most are a simple swap over strut to strut
