Lol, i'm afraid i don't know everything! I've heard some people say they do, but i don't know if its ever been tested! You could always grab a set and try them out

You could always just get some uprated K10 ones. They do the job amazingly well, such as Boge or KYB

cos soon i want to lower it by 35mm i have found rear shocks four springs but no fronts the only car they do it for is the k11

Ok, as above, KYB and Boge you can get for the K10. Someone got Boge ones recently so do a search and you should find it. I've got them on mine too and they're superb!

They're interchangeable but no they are not the same part. Springs on the k11 are slightly bigger and would have a higher spring rate, think the strut has a larger bore and obviously the brake pipe mounting point.

Been a while since I had the two side by side. You could fit the k10 shocks but the the brake pipe wouldn't have anything to clip into and they wouldn't perform as well. Don't think the springs are interchangeable either.

so could i fit K-11 coilovers to my K-10

Depends on the coilover as the rears of the k11 unlike k10 are not "coilover" that is to say the spring is separate from the damper.

so just to clear this up......K11 front coilovers would fit onto the front of a K10 with no modifying? apart from the brake pipe which can be cable tied out of the way. This correct?

I have also wondered about that. Hopefully will get an answer.

I ran k11 front struts on my k10 without any problems even managed to use the brake pipe bracket aswell, it's a straight swap
