evinX Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I think this could be a useful thread for us, there will be cheaper parts, it will be easier to hunt down aftermarket parts for a MKiii compared to a MKiv rather than going to Toyota. I know the Mkiv shares the same drop links as a MKiii, so lets add to the list *Drop links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 What makes you think mk3 parts are easier to find then mk4? Or cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 What makes you think mk3 parts are easier to find then mk4? Or cheaper Well, for example, as Toyota discontinue parts...Companies who originally supplied them...it seems, can produce and sell the parts under their own name including others to...there must be some legal mumbojumbo in there about selling the prints for parts and such, Which is good for us. The MKiii being older, alot more parts will be discontinued and reproduced. While with the MKiv, Toyota still hold large stock. Ive found companies selling, rear shocks, springs, top mounts for the rear of the car, but help me find some front springs, top mounts. I cant. Thats to OE spec. Hopefully you see my point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you see my point I don't see many companies making or replacements for these cars. Isn't a big enough market for them. Otherwise there would be many of parts out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
