Default OEM Sport springs

Will the sport springs from a 2000 1.8t FWD fit a 98 FWD V6? I found some for 100 bucks.

Default fit yes. but they are going to be soft, and ride height will likely be a little off...

...since the front of the V6 has more weight then the 1.8t.

I asume you mean the springs for the 1.8T are softer than the V6. I know the ride height will be lower w/ the sport springs, but not as low as most of the aftermarket springs.

Thanks for the response.

About the OEM sport springs ride height...I talked with a local Audi Dealer and they said that the OEM sport springs for my B5 have the same ride height as my stock non-sport springs. The only difference is the stiffness. I've seen different posts saying that the ride height is slightly lower for sport springs.

Which is true?

Default not sure about FWD, but in the B5 V6 quatto, the sport springs were a little lower...

...but nothing like an aftermarket spring kit. Maybe 1/2" or so.
