help front struts need info please .

hi i have a mark 1 punto gt (p reg ) which has been lowered ridiculously .
i bought standard struts off ebay but found them to be too big and will not fit . was wondering if there is a major difference in size of struts from a gt to a normal mark 1 punto . i think i may have been conned .

Lowering also involves the springs. If you are using shortened/lowering springs that the OE struts will be too big.
