I think both length (ride height) and stiffness (MKII springs are softer)
differ between the two.
Using MkI springs on a MkII will cause a high and stiff front end (I think
it will look a bit strange...), and using MkII springs on a Mk1 car will
cause the front to be low and sloppy...
They're not interchangable. But springs are something that you can buy for
a small amount of money, and you can get a wide range of stiffnesses and
heights. Contact Chris Witor, he has a number of options of springs.
