IIRC Rich and I were considering VW Golf fronts for the front setup that I bought for my Shelby CSX. We eventually decided to stick with the SRT4 struts because the Golf strut-to-knuckle connection width were just a hair too wide to work with our knuckles. They would 'work' but the difference was too slight to make a spacer work and it would have squeezed the strut tabs over the knuckle leg which we didn't really like. Not sure about the VW rears though.
