They'll fit no prob.  ALL A1 one chasis cars can swap ALL suspension
components except for the upper strut tie bar which differs between 8v
and 16v (as I just found out.)  Swaybars, shocks, strings, stressbars,
bushings, bearings etc...  For $20 you can't go wrong but I would
DEFINATELY get a new set of shocks.  Stock shocks will make you hate the
springs.  The ride is so bad.  Actually I drove on blown Boge Turbo Gas
shocks, not stock but still the stock valving would be terrible on stiff
springs.  Good luck,
