Back yes, front no. The strut diameter is larger on Mk3.5 cars.You can swap the hubs over though from an earlier car though to open your options up to lots more quality suspension kits.

I couldn't say whether you would need to swap wishbones over as well though

I think another factor was the hubs on the mk3.5 being bigger because of some models having power steering.

If you swop the hubs, I think you need to swop the drive shafts as well.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.
