I wouldn't have thought so. You would be better off sticking with what you have and upgrading the front dampers.

Iv got a ital set up to fit and wouldnt mind to fit spax to the front as iv already got them on the rear and im trying to get it handling as sharp as pos. I know if you give them the dimensions they can make them but would be cheaper if I can find fitment from another car!! ;)

I think you can get universal ones from Spax. Chris has the G7LL's listed on his web page and Ian (tathorher) has brought adjustable dampers for £59 each recently (GAZ). Mentioned here.

I used Minor ones on SLK and they just didn't have enough stroke length in them for the Marina 1.8.

The Spax G7LLs are adjustable as well as the Gaz ones.
