Ok, here's the deal. There's a guy on one of the local forums I'm on that has an 01 passat 1.8t FWD 5 speed. He's parting out a few parts before he sells it. I'd like to know if they'll fit on my 97 a4 1.8t FWD auto.

Wheels-I'm pretty sure those will fit.
Springs-This is one I was questioning. They're not coilovers or anything, just springs.
Turbo-back exhaust-I'm guessing not gonna fit cause of the longer wheelbase
Kamei Grille- Again, guessing no on that.
HKS Intake- This one I'd assume would fit fine

If anyone could help me out with these, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Im pretty sure the only thing that will fit is the intake... The rest is probably not going to work.

 

Why would the wheels not fit?

The springs I honestly don't know about, but I'm pretty damn sure the wheels will fit.

 

Oh ya i forgot those should fit too. but I think the springs are different because of the different wieghts of the cars.

 

So basically his springs wouldn't lower my car as much as his?

Edit: just checked out the specs and a 2001 passat only weighs 30 kg more than a 97 A4. Hell, I have nearly 30 kg of schoolbooks in my car most the time. Wouldn't think it would make that much difference.

Edit #2 Just checked another page which gave me a number closer to 55 kg. Still doesn't seem like that much of a difference.

 

Anyone else have some input on this?

 

well i just looked the part numbers on H&r their springs are different.

passat bolt pattern= 5x112mm
audi bolt pattern=5x112mm
hmmmm seems that the wheels will fit. better try them first though.

ur right the exhaust wont fit.

grill wont fit.
