I've got some and they dont fit in the mk3.5 hubs, I think you just need to change the hubs over to mk3 items

To be honest it depends really if the mk3 ones are a good price, If there are I would go for them,
I cant imagine mk3 hubs being to expensive from a scrapyard, but It depends really on how much they are.

Hus :-? , do you mean hubs ?? because I cant see hubs costing £100,

But coilovers certainly arent cheap but there the only way to go if you want adjustable ride height, but that's just my opinion,
Im sure other people will be able to explain it better than I can.

I dont think 2nd hand hubs from a scrap yard would cost much, best thing to do is to phone or visit your local scrap yard, that would give you the best idea on price,
It's only the fronts that need to be changed, it's due to ford using a larger diameter on the bottom of the shock absorber on mk3.5 fiestas ,
There is no need to change the backs because there are the same on all mk3 fiestas.
