Yes, 3rd gen struts will fit on a 4th gen coil on shock car....
You will need a whole bunch of other parts, a welder and a bunch of spare time to pull it off. Me I'd pass on them.

It is a MODIFIED mcpherson strut setup. not a direct mcpherson. The spring and strut are seperate but the strut/shock is the up control arm. unlike the 4th gen which has upper and lower a-arms and a spindle. with the "strut" in between all that. just makes things more difficult. Also the shock towers arent exposed which makes adjustable shocks more of a challenge to adjust because the adjustment has to be on the side of the shock.
