Myself, I don't see any advantage for the MKIV beyond a better body, smaller diameter roll bar, and front suspension geometry. The perky butt can be taken out of the MKIII very easily. The chassis geometry is correctable, and the 1.5" roll bar is pretty much a bolt in mod on your MKIII. If you bought yours already built, the "drop butt" may have already been done as it is a very common mod. Once again pics would tell. If that has been done to your car, the alloy body will not fit correctly. It would really suck to find that out late in the game, and one more example of how their lack of ffr chassis knowledge may bite you.
