yes but...

The H&R spring rates are derived from the when Neuspeed was working with
H&R, and Neuspeed / H&R came up with slightly different spring rates for
a 16v Scirocco vs an 8v Scirocco if I remember correctly...not that they
won't fit properly or anything,  just that the front _might_ ride a bit
lower, or lean a bit more on cornering.  Was that a run-on sentence?
