interesting message from Tien Direct, i emailed them about some coilovers they have up for sale on ebay and this is what they came back with...

Hi

Thanks for the message.

The fitment between quattro and FWD is the same. However, there is a significant difference in weight between the 2.

If you were to try the coilover for quattro on the FWD model, you may find the ride is not as we would expect.

If you are OK with this risk, please feel free to purchase, being aware that this issue cannot be covered by warranty.

Kind regards

Sales team.
