Reviving the thread once more, I have the factory shocks and springs out of my BF2, and a bloke wants to put the fronts into his ba wagon.

I understand the rears were different from ba to bf2, but as his is a wagon he will use lowering blocks for the rear, just needs fronts.

So the question is , will they fit? , if not shocks and coils, will just the shocks with aftermarket coils fit?

As far as I'm aware, the overall dimensions are the same, it's just a different spring seat height, therefor a different spring.. So If you put the complete shock and spring assembly in, it will work

Since my front left shock is blown im looking at replacement and want to do all 4's. Any way to tell which shock size I'd need? Car build date 7/07

Just a quick measurement is all that is needed.

Measure from the bottom bolt where the strut bolts to the lower control arm. The distance from that bolt up to the spring seat will either be 205mm or 255mm (give or take a few mm)

The 205mm measurement means BA and BF1, the 255mm measurement means BF2 strut. So the shorter measurement is Early, longer is Later.
