Default Quttro sport susp. on a FWD?

I seem to remember that the quattro OEM sport SUSP. will not work on a FWD. Does anyone know this to be a fact. Also, I have concerns about the bound and rebound of the Q springs and shocks on a car weighing less. I would think this would not give the car as much drop and make it much stiffer than normal.

Anybody got good intel on this?

aftermarket suspension companies always sell different kits for the quattros and the fronttraks, so i'm pretty sure they are not interchangeable....and even if they do fit, you are right about the spring rates, it wouldn't be nearly as comfortable as a setup that is designed specifically for your car

I am thinking that the front may work but I am expecting the perch to be different. The rear is totally different with the Independant but we will see. I am more worried about proper ride height with the 225/45/17's I have to put on. I will look terrible and perform as bad with the stock set up. With a higer spring rate from the Q cars I am expecting that there may be no drop in height.
But here is the reason i bought this set up...I should be able to use the shocks from the set and since they will be higher rated they should better handle after market springs for my car. Already I have the front sway bar fom the Q car. I have a rear but I really haven't been able to find a way to get it installed.

Thanks for your input.
