the front shockers up to 94 used different diameter springs... you can fit them but you'll need new springs to match (top mounts are the same though)

(I think it's 80mm pigtail early cars and 65mm later?)

That's right mate, TDI's and Cabrios had the old type 80mm plates on the later models though for some reason.
