Right, so ive bought a puma to replace my rotten mk4 fez and was wondering if my suspension setup off the fiesta is a direct bolt on job for the puma, or are things different on the puma body?

i believe it's pretty much idendical though there may be some slight differance in ride hieght depending in what model Fiesta you had. The only other point worth mentioning is early Fiesta's had a 'fork' type connector at the lower end of the rear strut/ to axel which changed to an 'eye' type around 1998.

I think the spring rates are different.

The Haynes Fiesta Manual (3397) can answer a lot of your questions.

I also found that the top mounts are different. At least I think that's what the parts guy told me.

I thought the tops could be different, especially on the rear. Fronts are probably the same tho
