They will most likely fit physically - but the derv lump is a lot heavier than the 2.0T FSI ... not sure it will work out very well to be honest  :undecided:

What he says :afro:

You need springs match to the weight of your car otherwise you'll find yourself bouncing up and down the road in a very untidy and uncomfortable fashion and the handling will be rubbish.

The rears you could probably fit as I doubt there is little difference in the rear axle weights but a set of aftermarket lowering springs are cheap enough so its best to get a complete set suited for your car  :smiley:
