16V springs only fit 16V struts.
either get 16V struts or get lowering springs for your existing 1.4 struts.
remember the rear is a torsion bar so will need lowering to match. |

chris does the R19 16v not have wider front track then the std R19's? front and rear, or just a better set-up with shockers/springs and torsion bar(s) |

so fitting 19 16v struts/springs to a std 1.4 r19 will it not throw the camber out? |

no cos the wishbones are still the shorter 1.4's and the 16V only has slightly more negative camber anyway. |
