Yes providing they are the same age as spring pig tale is smaller for later mk3s however the front may sit higher than the rear due to lighter engine of the cl.

they will fit (depending on year....pre mid 95 used bigger pig tails and with them you need to use matched spring cups to fit)

Front sits higher than the rear standard for some stupid reason but gti springs on a 1.6 won't help.
