the rear shocks on the si are different, but you can put the rear shocks from a mk3.5 si on a mk3, so yeah, you can fit FRST shocks on yours, but if there standard shocks, dont bother.

People often get confused!

The springs on the mk3 and mk3.5 can't be swapped but the shocks can, and then you can use mk3 springs aswell.

So yes they should fit, but I really wouldn't bother if I was you.

The shocks won;t be that much better (if not worse cos they are older), if you want it lower cheaply just get some springs.
