front struts distance between bracket bolts. how to measure?

[perch_2000_uk]

Hello, Basically i have a 97 rt 1.4 (mk1), anyway i want some new shocks and springs, It says
"Will only fit cars with front struts which have 52mm between bracket bolts."

Where do i need to measure this from? Thanks alot for your time and help.

Just from the middle of the 2 bolts that hold the shock onto the hub. Remember to double check your measurement though!

Go from top of one bolt to top of other or bottem to bottem to get centre to centre measurements
